A rare cervical complication of Kawasaki disease: a retrospective study of clinical and radiological features
GS is an uncommon complication of KD that occurs more often in older children and female patients. Imaging markers of atlantoaxial instability correlate with retropharyngeal crowding and nodal enlargement, while systemic inflammatory indices show limited associations. Early recognition and targeted cervical imaging may aid timely diagnosis and management.
