  • Title: Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation with survival: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Harmanli O, Koyfman Y.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1993 Apr; 39(4):324-30. PubMed ID: 8488454.
    Abstract:
    The number of patients who have survived traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation, the usual outcome of which is death from brain stem transection, has increased in the past two decades due to improvements in on-scene resuscitation and transportation. This case of survival after traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation is of interest because the patient had a complete neurologic recovery and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study was obtained to confirm the diagnosis and rule out associated injuries.
