%X Grisel¡¯s syndrome is a rare complication that is
characterized by non-traumatic</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> atlantoaxial subluxation. It is most commonly seen in children after an
upper respiratory tract infection or neck surgery, such as an adenoidectomy,
tonsillectomy and mastoidectomy. Grisel¡¯s Syndrome is characterized by
torticollis and a limited range of motion of the neck with pain. Here the
authors report a case of a Malian 5-year-old girl with Grisel¡¯s syndrome
following tonsillectomy. The patient¡¯s complaints were fully resolved after 2
weeks of conservative treatment.
