“…However, routine lateral cervical radiographs were unable to identify OCF in 96% of the reported cases [1,3,5]. Head injured patients with clinical manifestations of lower cranial nerve deficits or persistent severe neck pain are at risk of OCF, despite normal radiographic results [9]. Reformatted CT scans of the occiptial-C2 region should therefore be performed in traumatized patients who may have OCF.…”

Occipital condyle fracture (OCF) is an uncommon but potentially fatal disease entity. It is most commonly identified in patients suffering from severe craniocerebral trauma. The advent of computed tomography has made early detection possible. Traditional treatment using a hard neck collar is sufficient to produce solid fusion in most OCF patients. Delayed diagnosis, however, may result in neurologic deterioration due to potential displacement of fractured condylar fragments. Here we report a case of isolated, stable OCF in a patient with a minor head injury. A high level of clinical awareness of this rare disease entity is imperative for the management of traumatized patients, especially for those who have minor head injuries but persistent neck pain.

“…In sympus monopus (uromelia), a single foot is present. In sympus apus (sirenomelia,) the foot is absent [2]. Due to abnormal fusion, there is nonrotation of the embryological lower limb bud, which normally rotates medially during embryogenesis.…”

Sirenomelia is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a single lower extremity which is associated with abnormalities in other organ systems, commonly affecting the gastrointestinal and the urogenital systems. It is sporadic with no increased risk in subsequent pregnancies. In almost all the cases of sirenomelia, a single umbilical artery (SUA) is present which arises from the abdominal aorta. Sirenomelia can be confidently diagnosed in the first trimester while the diagnosis in the second and third trimesters is rendered difficult due to the lack of amniotic fluid in the later gestation. Transvaginal ultrasound and color Doppler have a key role in making the diagnosis and 3D ultrasound helps in better demonstrating the abnormality.
