Abstract
Occipital condyle fractures can be easily overlooked on plain radiographic examinations
of the head and cervical spine. This is especially true if such a fracture is not
clinically suspected, since they are very rare fractures. Two patients presented with
suspected tumors of the foramen magnum region. Both had old trauma and undiagnosed
old fractures of the occipital condyle.
