Traumatic dislocation of the atlanto-occipital joint.
We present four patients who had sustained a traumatic dislocation of the atlanto-occipital joint. The diagnosis was initially missed in two patients. One patient, who was neurologically intact, was treated non-operatively. The remaining three recovered neurologically after an occipitocervical fusion. Early recognition of the injury, especially in multiply-injured patients with head injuries, a...
متن کاملMultiple anomalies in the atlanto-occipital joint (articulation atlanto-occipitalis)
Contemporary populations exhibit numerous skeletal anatomical variations and the atlanto-occipital joint (articulation atlanto-occipitalis) is often the location of such variations. A female skeleton dated at 4000 BC and excavated at Meroe in the Sudan provides an example of numerous variations in the basilar skull and cervical vertebrae. These variations consist of the presence of a bilateral ...
متن کاملThe management of the atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial joint pain.
Headaches secondary to atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial joints are often associated with suboccipital pain and aggravated by lateral rotation of the cervical spine and/or flexion or extension of the cervical spine. They are frequently under-diagnosed using traditional radiological evaluation including plain X-rays, computerized tomographic scan, and magnetic resonance imaging. While the natu...
متن کاملFeasibility of Ultrasound Guided Atlanto-occipital Joint Injection
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of ultrasound guided atlanto-occipital joint injection. METHOD Six atlanto-occipital joints of three cadavers were examined. Cadavers were placed in prone position with their head slightly rotated towards the contra-lateral side. The atlanto-occipital joint was initially identified with a longitudinal ultrasound scan at the midline between occipital protu...
متن کاملPosterior atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial area and its surgical interest.
UNLABELLED Classic anatomical studies describe two membranes - atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial in the posterior aspect of the craniocervical region. During many surgical procedures in this area, however, we have not found such membranes. OBJECTIVE To clarify the anatomical aspects and structures taking part of the posterior atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial area. METHOD Analysis of hi...
