Ataxia is a common neurologic sign in childhood. Basilar impression due to bony abnormalities of the craniovertebral junction is an uncommon but readily treatable cause of ataxia in children. Two children who had neck stiffness, ataxia, nystagmus, and corticospinal tract signs are described. Basilar impression was recognized only after specific radiologic studies were performed. Both children were treated surgically with good results.
共济失调是儿童期常见的神经学体征。颅颈交界区骨质异常所致的基底压迹是儿童共济失调的一种罕见但易于治疗的病因。本文描述了两名出现颈部僵硬、共济失调、眼球震颤和皮质脊髓束征的儿童。仅在进行了特定的放射学检查后才确诊为基底压迹。两名儿童均接受了手术治疗，效果良好。
