Abstract

A 9-year-old girl crashed into the wall of the pool while swimming. Because of immediate neck pain and stiffness she was brought to a local hospital where cervical spine films were interpreted as normal. Since the pain persisted, a CT examination was also performed and a fracture in the anterior arch together with a spina bifida of the posterior arch of the atlas were diagnosed.
