Abstract
The atlantoaxial subluxation and the formation of a synovial periodontoid pannus are associated with rheumatoid arthritis causing mechanical compression of the spinal cord and cervical myelopathy. Atlantoaxial subluxation is very rare in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Even more rare is the formation of a periodontoid synovial pannus associated with PsA and signs of myelopathy. In this report, cervical myelopathy caused by periodontoid synovial pannus in PsA is described.Entities:
