Rare case‼️A 7 yo boy with neck pain, muscle spasms and torticollis (his head was tilted to the left side) for 10 days. Her mother reported a fever and a presumed throat infection 1week prior to the onset of pain. No recent trauma was reported. 1/4 #mskrad #radres #orthotwitter ImageImageImage
👉Grisel syndrome - non-traumatic rotational atlantoaxial subluxation following an infection in the head and neck region (upper respiratory tract infection is most common). 2/4 #radres #orthotwitter #MSKRad
✍️The pediatric population has the highest incidence of Grisel syndrome, likely bc of the greater ligamentous laxity of the cervical region (inflammation may increase the laxity of ligaments). Diagnosis is based on clinical and rad criteria. 3/4 #MSKRad #radres #orthotwitter
#artlover 🎨 The neck involvement of Grisel syndrome reminds me of Modigliani’s style characterized by a surreal elongation of faces and necks seen in many of his portraits. You can see more of his paintings at Museum of Art of São Paulo (MASP) where I took both photos below 4/4 ImageImageImageImage
