Unilateral dysplasia of the superior articular facet of the axis
R Salama
and
SL Weissman
A case of unilateral dysplasia of the superior articular facet of the axis due to incomplete or delayed ossification is described in a child. This may result in asymmetry of the articular surfaces of the axis in adult life and be a cause of torticollis. To our knowledge, no similar case has been reported.
