Isolated disruption of the transverse ligament of the atlas: an injury easily overlooked at post-mortem examination

Two cases of disruption of the transverse ligament of the atlas with concomitant injuries to the cervical medulla are reported. Such injuries are easily overlooked at post-mortem examination, especially because the external injury can be insignificant.
