- Abstract
Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation is an important differential diagnosis in young children with torticollis. The condition rarely results in neurological deficits. Radiological examinations such as computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful to determine the diagnosis. It is important for doctors in all areas of healthcare to be aware of the condition, as persistent problems or surgery can be avoided by early detection and treatment.
