    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study reports a rare case of bilateral atlas dorsal arch aplasia, specifically Keller's type. Advanced imaging techniques like CT scans were crucial for differential diagnosis, distinguishing it from a fracture.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Atlas (C1 vertebra) anatomy is crucial for spinal stability.
    • Congenital anomalies of the atlas can predispose to neurological deficits.
    • Dorsal arch aplasia of the atlas is a rare developmental anomaly.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with bilateral aplasia of the dorsal arches of the atlas.
    • The condition included a persisting tuberculum posterius.
    • The patient had a history of severe cranio-cerebral trauma.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) and conventional X-ray imaging were utilized for diagnosis.
    • Differential diagnosis was essential to rule out a traumatic atlas fracture.
    • The observed anomaly was classified as Keller's type of atlas arch aplasia according to von Torklus and Gehle's classification.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of atlas anomalies is vital for appropriate patient management.
    • Advanced imaging plays a key role in differentiating congenital anomalies from traumatic injuries.
    • Understanding rare anatomical variations like Keller's type aids in clinical practice and research.
