Abstract

Crowned dens syndrome (CDS) is often clinically underestimated due to its lower incidence. CDS is characterized by acute neck pain, cervical stiffness and discomfort, and fever. Laboratory tests showed that C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were markedly elevated. CT is the gold standard for the diagnose of CDS. However, there are few clinical literatures, and there is no unified evidence-based evidence for CDS, and it is easy to misdiagnose. A case of combination of Chinese and Western therapy for CDS was reported, and the treatment effect was remarkable, which can provide new diagnosis and treatment ideas for clinical practice.
