Computerized tomographic demonstration of rotational atlanto-axial fixation. Case report

I Rinaldi et al. J Neurosurg. 1979 Jan.

Abstract

The authors report a case of rotational fixation of the atlanto-axial joint in which the diagnosis was not reached by conventional radiographic techniques. The clinical impression of rotational fixation was ultimately confirmed by computerized tomography. This new diagnostic modality can be very helpful in arriving at a very difficult diagnosis.
