Abstract
Une petite fille de deux ans atteinte d'un granulome éosinophile du corps de C5 présentait une subluxation de C5 sur C6 avec une atteinte neurologique par compression médullaire. Après une biopsie percutanée à visée diagnostique, l'enfant a pu bénéficier avec succès d'un traitement conservateur. La mise en place d'un halo a permis d'appliquer une traction cervicale pendant neuf semaines et d'obtenir ainsi la récupération neurologique. A 2-year-old girl suffering from eosinophilic granuloma of the body of C5 presented with subluxation of C5 on C6 and neurological impairment due to cervical cord compression. Following a diagnostic percutaneous biopsy, the child was managed conservatively with halo fraction for 9 weeks and recovered successfully.Keywords
