Atlantoaxial tuberculosis: three cases.

Abstract:

:Tuberculosis of the craniocervical junction (CCJ) is exceedingly rare but carries a risk of compression of the medulla oblongata and upper spinal cord. Three cases among 63 patients with spinal tuberculosis are reported. Mean age was 51 years (range, 20-69) and mean time to diagnosis was 4.6 months (range, 1-8). Although atlantoaxial dislocation was a consistent feature, none of the patients had neurological deficits. Computed tomography of the CCJ disclosed a suggestive pattern combining osteolysis and an abscess anterior to the spine. The diagnosis was confirmed by microbiological studies in two cases and histology in one. The outcome was favorable after antituberculous therapy, immobilization of the neck, and surgical fusion. Although tuberculosis remains common in developing countries, involvement of the CCJ is rare. Tuberculosis of the CCJ carries a risk of instability and severe neuraxis compression. Consequently, early diagnosis and treatment are of the utmost importance.
