Rare congenital anomalies simulating upper cervical spine fractures

Rare congenital anomalies simulating upper cervical spine fractures

Congenital anomalies of the cervical spine are rare, especially those involving the atlas. Two cases are reported, one each of an unfused anterior arch and an unfused posterior arch of C1 that on plain film radiographs simulated unusual odontoid fractures. A general discussion of the development of...

Zusammenfassung:Congenital anomalies of the cervical spine are rare, especially those involving the atlas. Two cases are reported, one each of an unfused anterior arch and an unfused posterior arch of C1 that on plain film radiographs simulated unusual odontoid fractures. A general discussion of the development of the dens and the atlas follows.
