DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.07.214
Abstract: BACKGROUND Craniocervical junction (CCJ) dislocations are often fatal. Atlanto-occipital dissociation (AOD) can be challenging to diagnose, especially among patients who present with absent or subtle radiological signs. CLINICAL DESCRIPTION A neurologically intact 37-year-old patient presented… read more here.
