ABSTRACT
Low velocity firearm damage to the upper cervical spine without neurological deficit occurs infrequently. Four cases of gunshot fragments involving the anterior elements of C1 and C2 are presented. In all four cases, the fragments were removed via a transoral approach without neurological complications or mechanical instability.
