ABSTRACT
We present a case of progressive atlanto-occipital dislocation, recognized by a new onset of positive neurologic findings. We discuss the anatomic relationship of the lower four cranial nerves to the foramen magnum and the atlanto-occipital joint. The importance of careful assessment of the cranial nerves prior to choosing a treatment algorithm is emphasized.
