  • Title: Fracture of the occipital condyle.
    Author: Cottalorda J, Allard D, Dutour N.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop B; 1996; 5(1):61-3. PubMed ID: 8744436.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient with occipital condyle fracture who was neurologically intact. The patient was treated conservatively with a neck collar, and the symptoms resolved in 3 months. This diagnosis can be suspected in high-velocity road traffic accidents, in a patient with neck pain, disproportionate torticollis, or lower cranial nerve symptoms. Skull radiography and cervical spine films can be normal. The diagnosis is best made by high-resolution computed tomographic (CT) scanning with sagittal and coronal reconstruction.
