Summary
A patient with a head injury developed a delayed atlas dislocation after an acute subdural hematoma. Surgical intervention for the hematoma and non-manipulative reduction with fusion for the atlas dislocation resulted in a good neurological outcome.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Trauma Care
- Spinal Surgery
Background:
- Closed head injuries can lead to complex neurological and spinal complications.
- Acute subdural hematomas require prompt management.
- Delayed dislocations of the cervical spine, particularly the atlas, can occur after trauma.
