  • Title: A nodular calcification of the alar ligament simulating a fracture in the craniovertebral junction.
    Author: Sim KB, Park JK.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 2006 Oct; 27(9):1962-3. PubMed ID: 17032875.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of an incidental nodular calcification of the alar ligament simulating a fracture in the craniovertebral junction of a previously healthy 24-year-old man. Three-dimensional CT and MR imaging revealed a 7.2 x 7.6 x 4.0 mm nodular calcification in the right alar ligament with normal adjacent bony structures. Serial cervical dynamic radiographs and open-mouth views showed that the cervical spine was stable without any change in the calcification.
