“…The diagnosis of OCF usually remains unrecognized as it is rarely identified on plain radiographs [2,3]. This lack of utility of plain radiographs of either skull or cervical spine, together with the variability of symptoms, poses a challenge to the diagnosis of OCF [6,9]; however, with the increasing use of CT scans, more cases are being detected [3,7,10,11]. CT scans are now considered the gold standard in diagnosing this entity [9], helping to identify any displacement or bleeding in the affected area [7].…”

Types I and II are stable fractures and Type III is unstable [3].…”

“…As FCO tipos 1 e 2 de Anderson e Montesano 17 correspondem ao tipo 1 de Tuli et al 19 A FCO tipo 3 de Anderson e Montesano corresponde ao tipo 2 de Tuli et al, que é subclassificada em A e B na dependência da estabilidade ou instabilidade do complexo articular O-C1-C2. 20 Segundo Paiva et al, 21 essa classificação pode guiar o manejo neurocirúrgico, de modo que a fratura tipo 2B requer instrumentação cirúrgica ou halo de tração; a fratura tipo 2A deve ser tratada com um colar rígido; e a fratura tipo 1 não requer tratamento específico.…”

“…1 O tratamento conservador dessas fraturas evolui com bons resultados, com melhora da cervicalgia e manutenção dos movimentos do segmento envolvido após três meses de tratamento. 5,21,29 A maioria dos casos publicados foram tratados conservadoramente, principalmente aqueles com fraturas classificadas em tipos I e II de Anderson e Montesano. 17 Entretanto, a análise dos resultados do tratamento conservador de acordo com essa classificação tem sido controversa.…”
