Damage to the cervical spine with rheumatoid arthritis – difficulties of dianostics and patient management
The article presents a description of a 73-year-old patient with rheumatoid arthritis, complicated by the development of a neurological deficit in the form of tetraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed destruction of the C2 odontoid process with its replacement by a pannus, atlantoaxial subluxation, compression of the proximal segments of the spinal cord, and a compression fracture of C5.
