A report of a healthy young adult woman with non-pathological congenital absence of the lateral and posterior parts of the atlas is presented. This occurred in association with a steep mandibular plane angle and an extremely obtuse gonial angle. Similar facial features are common in females with hypoplastic dorsal arches, and this case illustrates the intimate developmental association between the upper part of the cervical spine and the craniofacial complex.
报告了一名健康的年轻成年女性，其寰椎外侧和后部存在非病理性先天性缺失。这种情况与陡峭的下颌平面角和极度钝角的下颌角相关。类似的面部特征在背侧弓发育不全的女性中很常见，该病例说明了颈椎上部与颅面复合体之间密切的发育关联。
