摘要
A 6-year-old female is described who sustained a fracture of the left occipital condyle after colliding with a car at low speed. The fracture was only visible on thin-slice CT of the neck, which is not routinely recommended in children following a road traffic accident. Fractures of the occipitoantlantoaxial complex are difficult to diagnose by plain radiography, and awareness of this problem needs to be raised among clinicians treating children. Dentomaxillofacial Radiology (2012) 41, 175-176. doi: 10.1259/dmfr/59348986
