Description
Yiding Zhao and coauthors present in 2026 a case of Grisel syndrome, a non-traumatic dislocation at the top of the spine, in a young boy after tonsil and adenoid surgery. The condition leaves the neck painful, stiff, and tilted. Its anatomy links the tonsil area directly with the joint between the first two neck vertebrae.
A 7-year-old boy had neck pain and deviation lasting over two weeks, with leftward rotation badly limited. Treatment paired hands-on stimulation of the tonsil reflex area with a four-step manipulation to realign the joint. After nine days his pain had resolved and neck movement had improved across all directions.
