Abstract
Non-traumatic subluxation of atlanto-axial joint known as Grisel's syndrome is a rare condition. The pathogenesis of Grisel syndrome in not clear but it seems laxity of cervical ligaments in children and an inflammatory process in neck might cause the syndrome. Here we present a case of Grisel's syndrome, a 9 -year- old boy presented with torticollis and discuss about clinical radiological and treatment aspects of the syndrome.
