We report a rare case of Hangman's fracture in a male child with osteopetrosis.
A 7-year-old boy was earlier diagnosed to have 'osteopetrosis'. He presented with neck pain, restriction of neck movements and quadriparesis following a fall while playing at home. Investigations revealed fracture of the bilateral C2 pars interarticularis. Goel technique of lateral mass plate and screw fixation was done on one side and a C2 pedicular screw fixation that traversed across the fracture line was performed on the contralateral side. The patient recovered rapidly in all symptoms following surgery.
Osteopetrosis can be a rare cause of Hangman's fracture.
我们报告了一例罕见的成骨不全症男性儿童的Hangman 骨折。
一名 7 岁男孩此前被诊断为“成骨不全症”。他在家中玩耍时摔倒后出现颈部疼痛、颈部活动受限和四肢瘫痪。检查发现双侧 C2 椎弓根峡部骨折。一侧采用 Goel 侧块钢板螺钉固定技术，另一侧采用穿过骨折线的 C2 椎弓根螺钉固定。手术后患者所有症状均迅速恢复。
成骨不全症可能是 Hangman 骨折的罕见原因。
