Isolated fracture of occipital condyle. Case report

D Curri et al. J Neurosurg Sci. 1988 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Fractures of the occipital condyle occur very rarely. Plain cervical spine films are not able to detect them. Tomography and CT scan of atlanto-occipital joint are, in these cases, very important. The Authors report a case of a young girl who had a head trauma associated to a fracture of the right occipital condyle. The value of CT and tomography are emphasized.
