Abstract

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 traction for 9 weeks and recovered successfully.
