Abstract:
Treatment guidelines for occipital condyle fractures (OCFs) are not established. Options for unilateral OCF have been discussed in the literature, but not for bilateral cases. We describe a bilateral OCF type II (according to the Anderson/Montesano classification) in a 30-year-old patient, where immobilisation in a SOMI brace (sternal occipital mandibular immobilisation) was successfully used.
