Atlanto-occipital subluxation is a rare but recognized form of subluxation that occurs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at the cranio-cervical junction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) clearly demonstrates the bony and soft tissue changes of RA in the cervical spine. We report a single case of atlanto-occipital subluxation in RA demonstrated by MRI.

KEY WORDS: Rheumatoid arthritis, Cervical spine, Atlanto-occipital subluxation, Subluxation, Magnetic resonance imaging, Cranio-cervical junction
