Abstract
An unusual case of partial aplasia of the posterior arc of the atlas, with persistent posterior tubercle, is presented in a previously healthy individual who sustained a neck trauma. Both plain X-rays and CT findings specified the lesion. Dynamic X-rays in flexion and extension showed an immobile posterior tubercle. The patient did not develop neurological symptoms at any stage during follow-up (1 year).Entities:
