    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2002 Dec; 16(6):592-6. PubMed ID: 12617243.
    Abstract:
    A 22-year-old woman presented with respiratory difficulty and quadriparesis two weeks after an upper respiratory tract infection. CT showed mild (Type I) rotatory atiantoaxial subluxation, but MRI demonstrated a severely contused and oedematous spinal cord at C2-3. The case was managed conservatively with collar, steroid and antibiotics. The outcome was excellent.
