Atraumatic atlantoaxial subluxation in pediatric enthesitis-related juvenile idiopathic arthritis: illustrative case

This case and supporting literature underscore the importance of early detection and multidisciplinary management of AAS in pediatric patients with JIA. Timely neurosurgical stabilization, combined with optimized immunosuppressive therapy, can prevent neurological compromise. Future research should focus on standardized diagnostic thresholds and outcome measures to guide best practices. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25121.
