Friendly reminder that isolated OCF's without joint space widening are stable injuries that do NOT require cervical #MRI (and that includes "avulsion" fractures 😉!)

"A normal atlanto-occipital joint space and skull base line measurements demonstrated a low predictive value for detecting unstable craniocervical injuries."
Single picture worth a thousand words when teaching facial #trauma to my new #radiology residents 🙂

Detecting M2 MCA #clot on 🧠CTA is challenging (esp. for a new #radres) vascular supply ⬇️:
Sup division ➡️ Anterior to sylvian fissure
Inf division ➡️ Posterior to sylvian fissure
Its a CTA⏳saver when +EIC

Classic INO (MLF lesion) = 1 of 4 MLF related syndromes (along with #dizziness via the VOR). The others...
1. ➡️ MLF+CN 4 - INO/Lat. hyperdeviation
2. ➡️ MLF+CN 6 - INO/Lat. palsy
3. ➡️ B/L MLF - Wall-eyed (#MRI below)

Stable or unstable fracture?
Follow up cervical MRI ALWAYS warranted?

The osteoligamentous anatomy of the craniocervical junction is complex and unique. It exquisitely affords maximum stability with the greatest possible range of motion. Subsequently, trauma to the CCJ is as equally complex and challenging to manage. #neurorad #radiology #emrad
