ABSTRACT
Cervical spine is involved in a significant proportion of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Although cervical spine disease may often be 'benign', neurological complications are not uncommon. Patients of rheumatoid arthritis should be screened for cervical spine involvement and appropriately treated with combination of anti-rheumatic drugs. We report a case of quadriparesis secondary to subluxation and disc herniation at C4-C5 level in a young woman with rheumatoid arthritis of short duration.
