Jul. 08': Arthritis in a patient with Down syndrome

We present the case of a 35-year-old patient with long-standing polyarthritis and Down syndrome. Both of these conditions share a clinical and radiological sign in common, namely,
atlantoaxial subluxation, though probably due to different causes.
We discuss this rare combination of both conditions as well as challenges for treatment.

Keywords: Down syndrome. Rheumatoid arthritis.
