Early Identification of Traumatic Durotomy Associated with Atlantooccipital Dislocation May Prevent Retropharyngeal Pseudomeningocele Development
Atlantooccipital dislocation can be complicated by a traumatic durotomy that may lead to the rare development of a retropharyngeal pseudomeningocele. To our knowledge this has been reported only five times previously. We present the case of a 60-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle accident who suffered an atlantooccipital dislocation and C5-C6 three-column injury. A unique MRI image of a d...
متن کاملTraumatic atlantooccipital dislocation with survival.
Traumatic atlantooccipital dislocation is generally considered incompatible with life. However, there have been isolated survivals from this injury, and a few patients initially have minimal neurologic deficits disproportionate to the gravity of their injury, a feature that has not been adequately stressed. The potentially catastrophic results of delayed therapy make early radiographic detectio...
متن کاملTraumatic retropharyngeal pseudomeningocele with atlanto-occipital dislocation in a neurologically intact patient.
Traumatic retropharyngeal pseudomeningoceles occur rarely, are associated with severe trauma, and have been reported in patients with significant neurologic deficits at presentation. We report the rare occurrence of a pseudomeningocele following a high-speed motor vehicle accident. Neurological examination showed the patient to be briskly following commands, with intact cranial nerve, motor, an...
متن کاملTraumatic atlantooccipital dislocation: two cases with survival.
These two cases with long-term survival after anterior and posterior AO dislocation point out the importance of making the diagnosis. Our simple technique of rapid CT confirmation of AO dislocation is a practical adjuvant procedure, particularly in patients with suspected intracranial injury.
متن کاملPost-traumatic intradiploic pseudomeningocele.
We report a four year old boy who was detected to have an occipital intradiploic pseudomeningocele three years following a traumatic skull fracture, and which was managed by ventriculo-peritoneal shunt placement. Traumatic intradiploic pseudomeningoceles behave differently from traditional growing skull fractures and may require individualized management decisions.
