    Traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation in dogs can cause neurological signs and neck pain. Manual reduction and a flexion cast successfully treated two dogs, leading to complete recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary neurology
    • Canine orthopedics

    Background:

    • Atlanto-occipital dislocation is a severe injury in dogs.
    • Neurologic deficits and pain are common clinical signs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the successful treatment of traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation in two dogs.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of manual reduction and external coaptation.

    Main Methods:

    • Two dogs with traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation were treated.
    • Treatment involved manual reduction under general anesthesia.
    • A plaster cast was applied to maintain cervical flexion post-reduction.

    Main Results:

    • Both dogs exhibited neurologic signs and cranial cervical pain prior to treatment.

  • Complete recovery was achieved in both cases following the intervention.
  • No complications were reported during or after the treatment period.

    • Conclusions:

    • Manual reduction combined with a stabilizing cast is an effective treatment for traumatic atlanto-occipital dislocation in dogs.
    • This approach can lead to excellent outcomes and complete functional recovery.
    • Further studies are warranted to assess long-term outcomes and compare with other treatment modalities.
