Abstract
- A case of atlanto-axial dislocation caused by a pyogenic abscess was presented. A pyogenic abscess in the cervical region is rare and surgical treatment is indicated if the sign of spinal cord compression is present. The lesion was removed by transoral approach and effective decompression was obtained. We reviewed the literatures and discussed the advantage and applications of transoral approach in detail.
