AbstractWe report on two children with tuberculosis of the craniocervical junction. Atlantoaxial instability was evident in both patients due to the destruction of the dens and the atlantoaxial ligaments. In addition, one child had tuberculosis involving the anterior arch of the atlas and the anterior rim of the foramen magnum. Despite anti-tuberculosis treatment and immobilization, atlantoaxial instability was evident on flexion/extension views. Successful fusion of C1 and C2 was performed in both patients.
