Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızda romatoid artritli 30 hastada direkt grafi, bilgisayarlı tomografi ve magnetik rezonans görüntüleme yöntemlerinden yararlanılarak atlantoaksiyel eklem sublüksasyonun laboratuvar ve klinik bulgularla olan ilişkisi araştırıldı. Yöntem ve Bulgular: Gerek laboratuvar gerekse de muayene bulgularının atlantoaksiyel eklem sublüksasyon risk tespitinde yada varlığında anlamlı farklılık ortaya koymadığı saptandı. Sonuç: Atlantoaksiyel eklem sublüksasyonun radyolojik olarak tespitinde direkt grafi, bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yöntemleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmamış olsa da koronal planda kesitlerin de alındığı manyetik rezonans görüntüleme, multiplanar özelliği nedeniyle atlantoaksiyel eklem sublüksasyon tespitinde öncelikli bir yer tutmaktadır.
