Abstract
We report a 30-year-old man with atlanto-occipital dislocation after a traffic accident. Diagnosis was based on radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Owing to the critical conditions that did not fulfil advanced trauma and life support protocols, surgical treatment was deferred, and the patient died 10 hours later.
