S M Marks et al. Br J Neurosurg. 1997 Jun.

We report a case of traumatic atlanto-axial dislocation with a clivus and upper cervical extradural haematoma causing tetraplegia and respiratory paralysis. Surgical evacuation via the transoral route with posterior atlanto-axial fixation resulted in survival with a good outcome.
