Abstract

Infantile torticollis is a common condition in rehabilitation clinics. Acute torticollis due to atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation, however, is an uncommon condition in children. The diagnosis is usually delayed due to difficulty in the evaluation of roentgenograms, as well as to clinicians’ unawareness of this disorder. Delayed unrecognized atlanto-axial subluxation may make the treatment more complicated. Here, we review three cases who had atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation successfully treated with manipulation.
