title: [A case with complicated disorder of the occipito-cervical junction].
abstract: Only very few complete aplasias of the posterior atlas arch have been described. Aplasia combines with assimilation of the anterior atlas arch and a basilar impression is an even rarer variant of this developmental anomaly in the occipitocervical region. The clinical symptoms in the case described were limited to persistent nuchal pain and severely limited function of the cervical spine.
