We report the case of a 73-year-old male patient who was suffered
trauma after a syncopal fall onto a railway track in the form of an
atlanto-occipital dislocation. The diagnostic revealed a bilateral
fracture of the occipital condyles coupled with a ventral
atlanto-occipital dislocation (Jeanneret type 4) and also an
odontoid fracture (Anderson type 2). The patient underwent dorsal
spondylodesis of C0-C2 in combination with Magerl's C1-C2 screw
fixation. Pre-operatively and postoperatively no neurological
abnormalities were found. This rarely occurring and survived
traumatological situation is described using the present case as an
example.
