Oksipital kondil kýrýklarý: Bir olgu sunumu

Oksipital kondil kýrýklarý nadir olup, konservatif tedavi genellikle yeterlidir. Nadiren atlantooksipital dislokasyonun eþlik ettiði olgularda cerrahi tedavi gerekebilir. Acil servise travma nedeniyle baþvuran olgularda direkt grafilerde sýklýkla taný konulamayan kondil kýrýklarýna, son yýllarda bilgisayarlý tomografinin sýk olarak kullanýlmasý ile artan oranda taný konulabilmektedir. Bu çalýþmada, acil servisimize travma nedeniyle kabul edilen hastanýn, maksillofasiyal travmasý ön planda olup, boyun aðrýsýndan þikayet etmekteydi. Servikal direkt grafileri normal olan hastanýn, servikal bilgisayarlý tomografisinde tek taraflý oksipital kondil kýrýðý saptandý.

Occipital condyle fractures: A case report

Occipital condyle fractures are rare, and conservative treatment is sufficient for many cases. Surgical treatment may be required if the condyle fracture is accompanied by atlantooccipital dislocation. Unfortunately, condyle fracture generally cannot be diagnosed with X-ray in the emergency department. Recently, computed tomography scans have been used more frequently, and enable easier diagnosis of these types of fractures. In this report, we describe a patient who admitted to our emergency department after a major trauma. She complained of neck pain, and maxillofacial trauma was more evident. Her cervical X-rays were normal, but cervical computed tomography revealed unilateral occipital condyle fracture.
