Grisel’s syndrome is an uncommon disease following the upper neck inflammatory process or ear, nose, and throat procedure. Clinically, it frequently develops in the pediatric population. The most common initial symptom is acute painful torticollis. This report presents a case of Grisel’s syndrome in an 8-year-old girl after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. CT was performed for diagnosis, and the patient was diagnosed with Grisel’s syndrome. Cervical halter traction was performed, and finally the patient recovered successfully without any complication.

Torticollis is an abnormal, asymmetric head or neck position which usually caused by imbalance of paracervical muscles. The traumatic torticollis can be caused by following events; atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation, atlantoaxial dislocation, cervical vertebral fractures, and injury to the cervical musculature. Especially, acute traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation usually presents limitation of cervical range of motion without pain or neurologic deficit. We report a case of a 58 year-old man who developed the acute atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation right after the chiropractic therapy, which induced the limitation of cervical range of motion to 52.5% of normal range. The magnetic resonance image revealed the facture of the odontoid process and the partial injury in transverse ligaments of the atlas. He underwent intramuscular botulinum toxin injection and 10 days of continuous cervical traction 15 hours a day using a 5 kg weight. The range of the cervical motion restored up to 90.2% of normal range.
