We report two cases of children with atlantoaxial rotatory dislocation (AARD) post-trauma with a chronic history of persistent neck pain and torticollis. The neurological examinations were normal. The dislocation reduction was challenging; however, cases with such delayed presentation, treated with closed reduction and external stabilization, are rare. After reduction, a serial CT scan during follow-up showed no recurrence.
我们报告了两例创伤后寰枢椎旋转脱位(AARD)的儿童病例,他们有持续颈部疼痛和斜颈的慢性病史。神经学检查正常。脱位复位具有挑战性;然而,对于这种延迟就诊的病例,采用闭合复位和外固定治疗的情况很少见。复位后,随访期间的系列CT扫描显示无复发。
