  • Title: Occipital condyle fractures diagnosed by high-definition CT and coronal reconstructions.
    Author: Wasserberg J, Bartlett RJ.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1995 Jul; 37(5):370-3. PubMed ID: 7477836.
    Abstract:
    We describe four cases of fracture of the occipital condyle. In all cases plain cervical spine films were normal. The fracture was diagnosed on the lowest section of a routine CT examination of the head. Further detail was then obtained with high-definition CT and coronal reconstructions. All the patients were found to have a small atlanto-occipital subluxation, no greater than 11 mm. Classification and treatment of these fractures is discussed. It is stressed that the lower-most section of a CT head study for cerebral trauma should include the inferior margin of the foramen magnum and that both bone and soft tissue images should be obtained.
