Abstrakt: Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a multisystemic storage disorder of glycosaminoglycan deposits. Infiltration of the dura mater and supporting ligaments caused spinal cord compression and consecutive myelopathy, especially at the cranio-cervical junction (CCJ). Craniocervical instability and posterior decompression often raise the problem of fixation in children. The main purpose of this paper was to report the result of an original technique of occipito-cervical arthrodesis using a cranial halo-cast system in pediatric population.
