A case report of occipitoatlantal instability in a 3-year-5-month-old child with Kniest syndrome is presented. Upper cervical spine instability has not previously been reported in Kniest syndrome. Presenting symptoms are similar to those of atlantoaxial instability, which has been reported in patients with skeletal dysplasia. Our patient was effectively treated with occipito-C2 fusion and halo cast immobilization.
本文报告一例3岁5个月患有Kniest综合征儿童的枕寰关节不稳病例。此前尚未有Kniest综合征患者出现上颈椎不稳的报道。该患儿的症状与骨骼发育不良患者中报道的寰枢椎不稳相似。我们的患者通过枕骨至第二颈椎融合术和头环固定术得到了有效治疗。
