ABSTRACT
STUDY DESIGN:
Case report.OBJECTIVES:
We report a very rare case of the inferior accessory ossicle of the anterior arch of the atlas misdiagnosed as anterior arch fracture. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW It is necessary to know the existence of inferior accessory ossicle of the anterior arch of the atlas, even though it is extremely rare. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A 29-year-old woman was referred to our emergency service unit with symptoms of neck pain and scalp laceration, after being involved in a car accident. She was diagnosed as the inferior accessory ossicle of the anterior arch of the atlas, by multiple diagnostic mordalities.RESULTS:
The symptom of neck pain was relieved spontaneously, and her symptom has been relieved at her latest visit, as a follow up within 3 months.CONCLUSIONS:
It is important to be aware of cervical anatomical variants because we commonly confuse it with other pathologic conditions, such as a fracture and thus, misdiagnose the condition.
