    Area of Science:

    • Neurotrauma
    • Spinal Cord Injury
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Traumatic atlantooccipital dislocation is a rare and often fatal injury.
    • High cervical fractures, such as at C4/5, can result in significant neurological deficits.
    • Concurrent injuries increase the complexity of managing severe spinal trauma.
