- Abstract
- Degenerative pannus arising from the atlanto-axial articulation is a rare entity, which is associated with chronic
atlanto-axial instability in degenerative arthropathies. Due to cervical instability and the mass effect on the spinal cord, it
can produce severe neck pain and compressive myelopathy. We report a case of cervical myelopathy resulting from
non-rheumatoid atlanto-axial subluxation. The posterior stabilization provided excellent neurological improvement and
pannus regression. Early recognition of this condition is important as the clinical condition will deteriorate without
surgical interventions. Key Words: Atlantoaxial subluxation, Myelopathy, Osteoarthritis
