Bilateral occipital condyle fracture: report of two cases.

Occipital condyle fractures are a rare finding in trauma victims. Bilateral fractures are even more unusual and have typically been reported in autopsy studies. We treated two patients with bilateral occipital condyle fractures who had only minor symptoms. Anderson and Montesano's classification,(1) possible cranial nerve palsies, diagnosis, and treatment of this rare fracture are discussed.
