Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 29274
  • Study ID: 29698
  • Image ID: 7035963
  • Plane projection: Sagittal
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Spine
  • Findings: The atlantooccipital joints are widened bilaterally, with an increased basion-dens interval to 13mm (normal < 12mm). The prevertebral soft tissues are enlarged due to extensive swelling anterior to C1-4. There is also swelling noted posterior to C1/2 in the interspinous region.  No fractures are identified. Incidentally noted is an ununited posterior arch of C1 (a common normal variant of no clinical significance), not to be confused with a fracture.
