Abstract
Atlantoaxial subluxation occurs in patients with bone dysplasia as spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia or Down disease. There has been no reports of atlantoaxial subluxation in patients with resistant rickets. A 16-year-old boy with resistant rickets complained of neck pain and numbness of the upper right extremity. Deformity of the cervical spine and atlantoaxial subluxation were seen on radiographs. We present the features of cervical spine in a patient with resistant rickets.
