This uncommon injury is frequently presented as sudden death. That’s why its diagnosis is many times made after death. Thanks to the development of resuscitation and reanimation techniques in the centers specialized in polytrauma, some patients with atlanto-occipital dislocation have survived, and this is the topic we deal with in this paper. 7 cases that received attention at the Neurosurgery Service of " General Calixto García" Teaching Hospital are presented here

Keywords : DISLOCATIONS [surgery]; DEATH, SUDDEN; MULTIPLE TRAUMA; ATLANTO-OCCIPITAL JOINT/ [injuries].
