Cervicothoracic dislocation due to congenital and bone-dysplasia-related vertebral malformations.

Congenital cervicothoracic dislocations are an extremely rare pathology that manifests itself in early age and requires an early surgical treatment. Failure to provide the treatment leads to the patient's disability. The surgical tactics for such patients is determined individually, but the published data and our own experience demonstrate that early multi-stage combined treatment has been the best option available so far. The cervicothoracic dislocations due to NF 1 manifest later and have a more favorable forecast.
