摘要：

An eight -year -old female presenting with posterior neck pain and torticollis who had been diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) three weeks earlier was radiographed and diagnosed with atlantoaxial rotatory fixation (AARF). Following treatment with non -steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), the posterior neck pain improved, and the torticollis was cured. Symptoms returned after two weeks, and computed tomography showed a 3.94 mm atlantodental interval and axis rotation. The patient was diagnosed with AARF relapse; symptoms resolved spontaneously prior to subsequent examination, and no further relapses were observed. This case highlights the need for clinicians to be aware that AARF may develop after COVID-19. Treatment options should be carefully considered.
