  • Title: [Drop attacks as a manifestation of occipital vertebra].
    Author: Gil-Nagel A, Morlán L, Balseiro J, González Preciado JL, Martínez Martín P.
    Journal: Neurologia; 1992 Mar; 7(3):113-5. PubMed ID: 1571183.
    Abstract:
    A proatlas, a type of manifestation of occipital vertebrae, was found in a female aged 64 with drop attacks. X-ray films and computed tomography of the craniocervical region disclosed the malformation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the same area and the posterior fossa discarded the presence of associated neural involvement, but gave no additional information about the nature of the process. Doppler-ultrasonographic study of the vertebral arteries and X-rays of the flexed and extended cervical spine failed to demonstrate the mechanism by which drop attacks were elicited.
