Abstract
Background: This case series presents five cases of adult atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS) following traumatic events, focusing on treatment strategies and long-term outcomes.
Case presentation: This paper includes four Iranian male patients and one Iranian female patient with ages ranging from 25 to 46 years old. Each case involved unique presentations and management approaches. Initial conservative treatments, including skull traction and orthoses, were attempted, but surgical intervention became necessary due to inadequate response. Surgical fixation significantly improved functional status and alleviated symptoms in all patients, leading to long-term relief. Radiological assessments demonstrated successful outcomes post-surgery.
Conclusions: This study underscores the importance of considering both conservative and surgical options in managing adult atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation to achieve optimal outcomes.
期刊介绍：
JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease 3. New associations or variations in disease processes 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
