Atlantoaxial subluxation in psoriatic arthropathy.
Symptomatic atlantoaxial dislocation occurs rarely in psoriatic arthropathy and has previously been reported only as a late complication in this disorder. We report severe upward axial dislocation and acquired basilar impression as a presenting manifestation of psoriatic arthropathy. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful in evaluating this condition.
