Abstract/Notes

Os odontoideum is an anomaly of the odontoid process and might be congenital or the result of trauma. Symptoms begin at any age, and the clinical presentation is variable. During radiological examination, it is often a chance finding in an unrelated problem, and just such a case is presented here. The patient presented with rheumatoid arthritis and thoracic backache, was found to have C1-2 instability due to an os odontoideum, and surgical stabilization was planned. Os odontoideum is an absolute contraindication to upper cervical manipulation.
