et al. 2020

Grisel's syndrome is non-traumatic inflammatory subluxation of the atlantoaxial joints presenting clinically as torticollis, neck pain, and reduced neck mobility. Several pathogens have been implicated in its etiology. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital for Grisel's syndrome to avoid serious neurological complications. This study reports the case of a 6-year-old girl who complained of pain and curvature of the neck following an upper respiratory tract influenza infection. Notably, the patient's neck pain and curvature worsened toward the end of her normal day for a week. This pattern is rare, but it represents an important example of Grisel's syndrome as a condition that varies through the day.

“…In the first few months, bilious vomiting might suggest intestinal obstruction. Further workup is required for Gastrointestinal bleeding [6][7][8]. In some cases, infantile torticollis is caused from sandifer syndrome (lateral head tilt alongside contralateral chin rotation), which could attribute to GERD.…”

“…Torticollis is also quite common, but these two conditions are not necessarily re lated. Acquired torticollis combined with neck pain is sometimes idiopathic and benign; however, this condition can be caused by trauma, infection, or even malignancy 3,6,7) . Thorough history taking and physical and neurological examinations are extremely im portant; however, these tests cannot screen for all severe causes, making imaging studies necessary 8) .…”

We report a case of 6yearold boy who presented with a 1month history of neck pain, rightsided torticollis, with no neurological deficit on physical examination. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine revealed an expansive intramedullary tumor in the cervical spine. Histopatho logic examination of the biopsy specimen revealed primary lowgrade glioma. This highlights the importance of physician's vigilance when diagnosing patients with common chief complaints such as torticollis and neck pain in order to avoid missing possible severe causes and to ensure patient management and prognosis.
