Down syndrome is the most common inherited chromosomal disorder caused by trisomy 21. Atlantoaxial instability (AAI) is more common in children with Down syndrome, resulting from ligament laxity and odontoid dysplasia. We report the case of a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome submental. She came to the ER with a history of abnormal gait for one week and was admitted with a case of ataxia for investigations. Moreover, we discovered that she had atlantoaxial subluxation, which was treated surgically.
唐氏综合征是由21号染色体三体导致的最常见的遗传性染色体疾病。寰枢椎不稳(AAI)在唐氏综合征患儿中更为常见,是由韧带松弛和齿状突发育异常引起的。我们报告一例10岁患有唐氏综合征的颏下女孩的病例。她因一周的异常步态病史前来急诊室,并因共济失调病例入院进行检查。此外,我们发现她患有寰枢椎半脱位,并接受了手术治疗。
