A 7-year-old girl came to the orthopedic department complaining of neck pain and torticollis following upper respiratory tract infection for 3 days. Roentgenographic examination of the antero-posterior open-mouth view showed type one C1-C2 subluxation. The patient was treated with appropriate antibiotics and cervical traction. A SOMI brace was used for immobilization. The subluxation returned to the normal position after 3 days.
