Dynamic MRI in the Evaluation of Atlantoaxial Stability in Pediatric Down Syndrome Patients

Conclusion: This study characterizes the range of motion seen on dynamic MRI and provides parameters that can be used to distinguish patients at risk for neurologic injury. Changes greater than 3 mm in ADI or 5 mm in SAC during dynamic MRI or any bony abnormality warrants further investigation. Patients without these features may be able to avoid an unnecessary intervention.Pediatr Neurosurg
