Introduction[edit | edit source]

Down Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, is a condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome (chromosome 21) which results in atypical physical and cognitive development. Down Syndrome occurs in approximately every 1 in 700 births.[1] Within this population Occipito-axial instability effects approximately [X]%, whilst Atlanto-axial Instability (AAI) effects between 6.8-30%.[2][3][4] Less than 1-2% of people living with Down Syndrome who have AAI later develop symptomatic AAI.[3] Symptomatic AAI is occurs as a result of excessive cervical movement impinging on the spinal cord, with a risk of severe neurological damage if untreated .[2]

Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]

Bones: Occiput (inferior aspect of the skull), Atlas (C1), Axis (C2), C3-C7

Joints: Atlanto-occipital (C0/C1) & Atlanto-axial (C1/C2)

Ligaments:Apical, Alar, Nuchal, Supraspinous, Interspinous, Anterior Longitudinal, Posterior Longitudinal, Transverse Occipital, Transverse, Intertransverse, Accessory Atlanto-axial.

Muscles: Longus Capitis, Rectus Capitis Anterior, Rectus Capitis Lateralis, Longus Colli, Scalenes (anterior, middle, posterior), Splenius Capitis, Splenius Cervicis, Upper Trapezius, Levator Scapulae

Overview of Pathology[edit | edit source]

Occipito-axial Instability in Down Syndrome[edit | edit source]

Atlanto-axial Instability in Down Syndrome[edit | edit source]

AAI occurs as a result of increased movement at the Atlantoaxial joint (the atlas and axis joint articulation).[5] The instability arises from bony abnormalities and ligament laxity of the Atlantoaxial joint.[6]

Signs & Symptoms[edit | edit source]

Differential Diagnoses[edit | edit source]

Examination and Screening[edit | edit source]

Atlanto-occipital instability - lateral radiographic imaging using the Rule of 12 or Harris measurement[7].
