Abstract
Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS), which is characterised by an abnormal alignment of the atlantoaxial joint, is rarely reported after oral and maxillofacial surgery. A four-year-old girl developed AARS after neck surgery. The child initially had treatment for one month in a timely manner. Follow ups revealed reduced symptoms of neck pain and the previous tilt disappeared after serial treatment. This case aimed to increase awareness of AARS and provide a reference for oral and maxillofacialsurgeons.
