Atlantoaxial dislocation

چکیده
Atlantoaxial dislocation is the loss of normal alignment and stability of the first (atlas) and second (axis) cervical vertebrae with respect to each other.

The condition must be appropriately diagnosed and managed to prevent deformity, spinal instability, and potential neurologic injury. The author reviews the pertinent features of this disorder as it is relevant to a wide range of healthcare professionals.
