    Author: Silbergeld DL, Laohaprasit V, Grady MS, Anderson PA, Winn HR.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1991 Jan; 35(1):54-6. PubMed ID: 1983884.
    Abstract:
    Atlantoaxial injuries, regardless of mechanism, typically result in bony injury. We present two unusual cases of fatal traumatic C-1-C-2 distraction without associated fracture or rotation. The ligamentous anatomy, common underlying structural/medical predispositions, and the possible mechanism of injury are discussed.
