C1-C2 Polyaxial Screw Rod Fixation for Atlantoaxial Dislocation due to Morquios Disease

PRAGADHEES RAMAMOORTHY

Abstract


13 years male born of nonconsanguineous
parents presented with
progressive spastic weakness of upper
and lower limbs with atrophy and contracture
of muscles 18 months duration.
No specific family history.Sibling was
normal.Ophthalmological examination
showed bilateral corneal haziness.
Skeletal survey showed skeletal dysplasia
around joints. These features are
consistent with Morquios disease. Atlantoaxial
Dislocation due to odontoid hypoplasia
was considered to be the cause
of quadriparesis. C1- C2 pars screw fixation
with bone grafting of the AA joints
was done
