C1 posterior neural arch fracture

C1 posterior neural arch fracture
A posterior neural arch fracture of C1 results from compression of the posterior elements between the occiput and the spinous process of C2 during forced neck extension. A vertical fracture line through the posterior neural arch is seen on this lateral x-ray (white arrow).
