    Abstract:
    A rare case of craniovertebral junction anomaly with associated reducible C(1)-C(2) dislocation and assimilation of the atlas is reported. The patient presented with neck pain with spastic quadriparesis. A posterior stabilization utilizing a contour rod, sublaminar wire fixation and onlay bone grafts between the occiput, and C(3) and C(4) vertebrae was performed followed by symptomatic improvement.
