Abstract
We describe 2 HLA-B27 positive children with sernonegative enthesopath y and arthropathy (SEA) syndrome who developed spontaneous (nontraumat ic) atlantoaxial subluxation early in their disease course. Neither ch ild had evidence of spinal cord compression but both had progressive a tlantoaxial subluxation in spite of conservative treatment. Both under went elective posterior cervical (C1-C2) fusion.
