Successful Treatment of Atlantoaxial Subluxation in an Adolescent Patient with BrachytelephalangicChondrodysplasia Punctata.

ABSTRACT: Brachytelephalangic chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX1) is characterized by brachytelephalangy and nasomaxillary hypoplasia, in addition to stippled epiphyses. Some reports have described infants with CDPX1 who exhibited cervical spinal stenosis. However, the natural course of cervical spinal lesions in this condition has not been elucidated. Here, we report a very rare adolescent case of CDPX1, which demonstrated progressive myelopathy caused by atlantoaxial subluxation and a subsequent retroodontoid pseudotumor, successfully treated with surgery. Our case highlights a new clinically important fact that upper cervical spinal lesions in CDPX1 can deteriorate even after childhood and thus need close monitoring.

Recurrent traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation: Case report.

Project description:Introduction:Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS) is not uncommon in paediatric emergencies, however, the complications might be fatal. Long onset before presentation is correlated with higher recurrence and persistent deformity. There is no consensus on the treatment of AARS yet. Selected patients may benefit from conservative approaches; however, retention might be difficult, and subluxation may recur. Presentation of case:A 6-year-old boy was admitted to our institution with AARS for three months before admission. Typical Cock-Robin position was observed. Computed tomography (CT) indicated AARS Fielding and Hawkins grade III. We treated the case conservatively by closed reduction and cervical traction using Gardner-Wells tongs. However, poor compliance resulted recurrence of subluxation, so we decided to fuse the atlantoaxial joint using transarticular screws, posterior wiring, and autologous bone grafting. Posterior fusion resulted in a satisfactory outcome, in which the wound healed accordingly. Six months of follow up examination revealed normal motoric and sensory function. The patient was able to perform daily activities with no significant issues. Discussion:Patients with fixed deformity of more than three weeks have a higher rate for recurrence or persistent deformity, as reduction is harder and difficult to maintain. The use of posterior wiring alone is limited in maintaining reduction, while using transarticular screws alone is considered better in maintaining reduction; however, not providing it. Conclusion:The use of posterior cervical fusion using C-wire, transarticular screws, and autologous bone grafting may be applied in recurrent case of AARS to ensure adequate reduction and fixation of the atlantoaxial joint.

Automatic evaluation of atlantoaxial subluxation in rheumatoid arthritis by a deep learning model.

Project description:BackgroundThis work aims to develop a deep learning model, assessing atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which can often be ambiguous in clinical practice.MethodsWe collected 4691 X-ray images of the cervical spine of the 906 patients with RA. Among these images, 3480 were used for training the deep learning model, 803 were used for validating the model during the training process, and the remaining 408 were used for testing the performance of the trained model. The two-dimensional key points' detection model of Deep High-Resolution Representation Learning for Human Pose Estimation was adopted as the base convolutional neural network model. The model inferred four coordinates to calculate the atlantodental interval (ADI) and space available for the spinal cord (SAC). Finally, these values were compared with those by clinicians to evaluate the performance of the model.ResultsAmong the 408 cervical images for testing the performance, the trained model correctly identified the four coordinates in 99.5% of the dataset. The values of ADI and SAC were positively correlated among the model and two clinicians. The sensitivity of AAS diagnosis with ADI or SAC by the model was 0.86 and 0.97 respectively. The specificity of that was 0.57 and 0.5 respectively.ConclusionsWe present the development of a deep learning model for the evaluation of cervical lesions of patients with RA. The model was demonstrably shown to be useful for quantitative evaluation.

Genetically predicted C-reactive protein mediates the association between rheumatoid arthritis and atlantoaxial subluxation.

Project description:ObjectiveInvestigating the causal relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) and identifying and quantifying the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) as a potential mediator.MethodsUsing summary-level data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS), a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis of genetically predicted rheumatoid arthritis (14,361 cases, and 43,923 controls) and AAS (141 cases, 227,388 controls) was performed. Furthermore, we used two-step MR to quantitate the proportion of the effect of c-reactive protein-mediated RA on AAS.ResultsMR analysis identified higher genetically predicted rheumatoid arthritis (primary MR analysis odds ratio (OR) 0.61/SD increase, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.36-1.90) increased risk of AAS. There was no strong evidence that genetically predicted AAS had an effect on rheumatoid arthritis risk (OR 1.001, 95% CI 0.97-1.03). The proportion of genetically predicted rheumatoid arthritis mediated by C-reactive protein was 3.7% (95%CI 0.1%-7.3%).ConclusionIn conclusion, our study identified a causal relationship between RA and AAS, with a small proportion of the effect mediated by CRP, but a majority of the effect of RA on AAS remains unclear. Further research is needed on additional risk factors as potential mediators. In clinical practice, lesions of the upper cervical spine in RA patients need to be given more attention.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging as the Primary Imaging Modality in Children Presenting with Inflammatory Nontraumatic Atlantoaxial Rotatory Subluxation.

Project description:Inflammatory nontraumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AAS) in children is an often-missed diagnosis, especially in the early stages of disease. Abscess formation and spinal cord compression are serious risks that call for immediate surgical attention. Neither radiographs nor non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images sufficiently indicate inflammatory processes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows a thorough evaluation of paraspinal soft tissues, joints, and ligaments. In addition, it can show evidence of vertebral distraction and spinal cord compression. After conducting a scoping review of the literature, along with scientific and practical considerations, we outlined a standardized pediatric MRI protocol for suspected inflammatory nontraumatic AAS. We recommend contrast-enhanced MRI as the primary diagnostic imaging modality in children with signs of torticollis in combination with nasopharyngeal inflammatory or ear nose and throat (ENT) surgical history.

Nontraumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation: grisel syndrome. Case report and literature review.

Project description:Study Design Case report and literature review. Objective To describe a case of nontraumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (Grisel syndrome) and to review clinical and radiologic aspects, physiopathology, and treatment of this lesion. There is no well-established protocol in the management of patients without spontaneous reduction. The authors discuss the available strategies to achieve reduction and when to operate on these patients. Methods Case presentation of a 7-year-old patient who presented with torticollis ∼1 week after the onset of an upper airway infection. There was no history of head or neck trauma. Computed tomography demonstrated atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation and a normal atlantodental interval. Results The patient was treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics and by progressively increasing the soft cervical collar height. Clinical reduction of the subluxation occurred after 48 hours. He wore the rigid collar for 6 weeks. At that moment, the patient was completely asymptomatic and follow-up cervical spine radiograph demonstrated an anatomical C1-C2 relation. The patient was instructed to return to daily life activities in a gradual manner. Conclusions Grisel syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of torticollis, especially in children. The management can be planned according to the classification of Fielding and Hawkins. The initial treatment involves medicines, injury reduction, and cervical spine immobilization. Surgical treatment is indicated only in cases of failure of conservative treatment, recurrences of subluxation, and irreducible subluxations.

Endoscopic treatment of intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation.

Project description:Intrasheath subluxation of the peroneal tendons within the peroneal groove is an uncommon problem. Open exploration combined with a peroneal groove-deepening procedure and retinacular reefing is the recommended treatment. This extensive lateral approach needs incision of the intact superior peroneal retinaculum and repair afterwards. We treated three patients with a painful intrasheath subluxation using an endoscopic approach. During this tendoscopy both tendons were inspected. The distal muscle fibers of the peroneus brevis tendon were resected in two patients. A partial tear was debrided in the third patient. All patients had a good result. No wound-healing problems or other complications occurred. Early return to work and sports was possible. An endoscopic approach was successful in treatment of an intrasheath subluxation of the peroneal tendons.

Complete Atlantooccipital Assimilation with Basilar Invagination and Atlantoaxial Subluxation Treated Non-Surgically: A Case Report.

Project description:Atlantooccipital assimilation is a partial or complete congenital fusion between the atlas and the base of the occiput. Most patients with atlas assimilation are asymptomatic, but some may present with neurological problems such as myelopathy. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with neck and occipital pain, episodic neck stiffness, and dizziness. Medical imaging revealed complete atlantooccipital assimilation associated with basilar invagination, atlantoaxial subluxation, and predisposing anterior spinal cord compression. The patient was treated non-operatively with medications, cervical interferential therapy, and a rigid cervical orthosis.
