Swan-neck deformity secondary to osteomyelitis of the posterior elements of the cervical spine. Case report.

A case of osteomyelitis is described, involving the posterior elements of the cervical vertebrae in a 7-year-old girl and resulting in swan-neck deformity. Treatment was initiated with antibiotics, and the patient was placed in halo traction. Eventually posterior cervical fusion was performed, which provided excellent stability and correction of the deformity.
