ABSTRACT
Fracture of the occipital condyle is rare. We report the case of a patient with this fracture who presented with negative plain films and delayed hypoglossal nerve palsy. Diagnosis was estabilished with high resolution computed tomography. In a trauma patient with neck or occipital pain, with or without cranial nerve palsy, this fracture should be considered, even if a plain radiograph is negative.
