La etiología es multifactorial, causa inestabilidad y clínicamente se traduce en dolor y datos de compresión a las estructuras neurales. El tratamiento de elección es quirúrgico y se han desarrollado técnicas que se enfocan en conservar la estabilidad del segmento. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 23 años, inicia padecimiento a los ocho años, refiere cervicalgia moderada a intensa, que evoluciona con parestesias en hemicuerpo izquierdo y posteriormente paresia de miembro torácico izquierdo. A la exploración física se evidencia hipoestesia de hemicuerpo izquierdo, así como paresia de miembro torácico izquierdo. Los estudios de extensión demuestran lesión axonal crónica de C1 a C3, de predominio izquierdo, los estudios de imagen evidencian inestabilidad axial y la resonancia magnética compresión bulbar. La paciente recibe tratamiento quirúrgico consistente en fijación posterior C1-C2, evolucionando satisfactoriamente.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The os odontoideum is a variable oval or round ossicle with a smooth cortical border, which partially corresponds to the odontoid process, without having continuity with the rest of C2 bone. The multifactorial etiology causes instability and clinically translates into pain and compression data into neural structures. The treatment of choice is surgical and techniques have been developed that focus on preserving the stability of the segment. We present the case of a 23-year-old female patient, who begins to suffer at 8 years of age, refers to moderate to severe cervicalgia, which develops with paresthesias in the left hemisphere and later paresis of the left thoracic limb. Physical examination showed hypoaesthesia of the left hemisphere, as well as paresis of the left thoracic limb. Extension studies demonstrate chronic axonal lesion from C1 to C3, predominantly left, imaging studies showing axial instability and magnetic resonance bulbar compression. The patient receives surgical treatment consisting of posterior fixation C1-C2, evolving satisfactorily.]]></p></abstract>
