Herein, we report a case in which AARF can be developed after neurosurgical procedure. Surgical techniques used for atlantoaxial subluxation should be carefully selected. In our case, the Harms technique after cranial traction was an excellent option for correcting and stabilizing the abnormal neck position. However, further studies are required to determine the best technique to use in the pediatric population.
