Abstract
We describe 2 HLA-B27 positive children with seronegative enthesopathy and arthropathy (SEA) syndrome who developed spontaneous (nontraumatic) atlantoaxial subluxation early in their disease course. Neither child had evidence of spinal cord compression but both had progressive atlantoaxial subluxation in spite of conservative treatment. Both underwent elective posterior cervical (C1-C2) fusion.
