Abstract

A case of atlanto-occipital dislocation with incomplete pondomedullary brainstem tear is reported; it resulted from a high-speed motorboat accident. The 43 year old man exhibited a locked-in syndrome; the diagnosis was made with MRI and verified by autopsy. With modern methods of life support, prolonged survival after such injuries is unfortunately sometimes possible.

摘要

报告了一例伴有延髓脑桥不完全撕裂的寰枕关节脱位病例；该病例由高速摩托艇事故导致。这位43岁的男性表现出闭锁综合征；通过磁共振成像（MRI）做出诊断，并经尸检证实。不幸的是，借助现代生命支持方法，此类损伤后有时可能会延长存活时间。
