TRAUMATIC ATLANTO-OCCIPITAL DISLOCATION

WITH CASE REPORT OF A PATIENT WHO SURVIVED

TRYGVE O. GABRIELSEN 1 and JOHN A. MAXWELL 1

1 From the Department of Radiology and Department of Surgery, Section of Neurosurgery, The University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan

A case of purely traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation in a surviving adult has been reported. Rupture of spinal meninges and anterior atlanto-occipital ligamentous structures was demonstrated by roentgenographic studies. A well documented case has apparently not been recorded before. Autopsy reports of traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation are also rare. The occipito-atlanto-axial ligaments normally are very strong and are not prone to rupture.
