Abstract

Occipital condyle fractures are rare, and conservative treatment is sufficient for many cases. Surgical treatment may be required if the condyle fracture is accompanied by atlantooccipital dislocation. Unfortunately, condyle fracture generally cannot be diagnosed with X-ray in the emergency department. Recently, computed tomography scans have been used more frequently, and enable easier diagnosis of these types of fractures. In this report, we describe a patient who admitted to our emergency department after a major trauma. She complained of neck pain, and maxillofacial trauma was more evident. Her cervical X-rays were normal, but cervical computed tomography revealed unilateral occipital condyle fracture.

Özet

Oksipital kondil kırıkları nadir olup, konservatif tedavi genellikle yeterlidir. Nadiren atlantooksipital dislokasyonun eşlik ettiği olgularda cerrahi tedavi gerekebilir. Acil servise travma nedeniyle başvuran olgularda direkt grafilerde sıklıkla tanı konulamayan kondil kırıklarına, son yıllarda bilgisayarlı tomografinin sık olarak kullanılması ile artan oranda tanı konulabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, acil servisimize travma nedeniyle kabul edilen hastanın, maksillofasiyal travması ön planda olup, boyun ağrısından şikayet etmekteydi. Servikal direkt grafileri normal olan hastanın, servikal bilgisayarlı tomografisinde tek taraflı oksipital kondil kırığı saptandı
