Article Synopsis
- Grisel's syndrome (GS) is a rare condition that causes the atlantoaxial joint to partially dislocate without a traumatic cause, and this case study features a two-month-old girl, the youngest known patient with GS.
- The infant was initially thought to have an arachnoid cyst, but was later diagnosed with GS, likely due to a retropharyngeal abscess, after experiencing weakness and developmental delays.
- She ultimately received surgery to treat the condition, highlighting the importance of considering GS as a possible diagnosis even in the absence of classic symptoms, as early intervention is crucial to prevent severe neurological damage.
