A case is reported of basilar fracture of the occipital bone passing through the left occipital condyle, ascending the clivus anteriorly, with marked medial displacement of the bony fragment. The injury produced ipsilateral palsies of nerves IX through XII (Collet-Sicard syndrome). A CT scan accurately delineated the extent of the fracture. Partial neurological recovery ensued following surgery.
