Özet

Background: Paraplegia or death secondary to upper cervical spine instability and spinal cord compression are known consequences of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC). Stabilization and occasionally decompression of the upper cervical spine are indicated to treat upper cervical instability and stenosis. The purpose of this study was to report the results of upper cervical spine fusion in children with SEDC who had upper cervical instability.
