RESUMO
The Os odontoideum is a developmental anomaly of the axis in which the odontoid process is divided transversely. The Atlanto-axial dislocation due to Os odontoideum is presented. At first, we have performed the posterior atlanto-axial fusion with wire fixation. But the posterior fusion failed in realignment and did not adequately decompress the deformed cord by encroachment on its ventral surface. Next time, we have experienced further improvement following transoral decompression and anterior fusion.
