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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meniscus Subluxation Retensioning: "Autotransplant".

Project description:Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition in the older population and is characterized by several articular dysfunctions with consequent anatomic abnormalities including osteochondral degenerative changes and meniscal extrusion. Meniscal damage with extrusion is one of the strongest identified risk factors for the development and progression of knee OA and represents an important factor in the long-term health of the joint. Meniscal extrusion can alter normal knee biomechanics and dramatically inhibit meniscal function. We present a surgical technique for the treatment of early knee OA in association with an extruded meniscus to restore the meniscal anatomic position and preserve its native physiological function related to cartilage preservation. Meniscal retensioning, or a "meniscal autotransplant," can increase meniscal coverage in the compromised compartment, prevent cartilage degeneration, decrease subchondral bone exposure, and restore the compartmental space and, consequently, can relieve patients' symptoms related to early OA.

Excellent response to asfotase alfa treatment in an adolescent patient with hypophosphatasia.

Project description:Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by deficient activity of alkaline phosphatase, causing defective mineralization of bones and teeth. The symptoms vary from no symptoms to stillbirth or skeletal manifestations. Since 2015, asfotase alfa, an enzyme replacement treatment, has been approved for pediatric use in some jurisdictions. We describe the clinical outcome of asfotase alfa therapy in an adolescent patient with childhood HPP. The patient was diagnosed with HPP at 13 months. She had a history of hypertonia and failure to thrive from age 3 months. During childhood the patient experienced chronic skeletal pain, requiring daily use of analgesics and school absences. Her plasma pyridoxal-5-phosphate was elevated at >2500 mmol/L, phosphoethanolamine at 11 μM, and ALP decreased at 25 U/L. On the visual analog scale (VAS), a scale used to determine pain intensity, she stated an average of 7 (maximum 10) at age 13. She had no abnormalities on radiography. At age 13 the patient was started on asfotase alfa 1 mg/kg given subcutaneously 6 times weekly. Three months after treatment the patient had a decreased P-pyridoxal-5-phosphate level of 41 mmol/L, used fewer analgesics, and a lower average VAS-score. At every follow-up, she continued to exhibit improved biochemical values, along with lower VAS-scores. In conclusion, asfotase alfa significantly improved the patient's quality of life. This case suggests an association between children with HPP without radiographic abnormalities, but a debilitating pain phenotype, and a significant pain reduction on enzyme replacement therapy. Thus, this therapy should be considered in such patients.
