A Rare Case of Type II Odontoid Fracture With Bilateral Vertebral Arteries Occlusion Without Neurological Deficits

Cervical spine fractures are common fractures due to spine trauma. Odontoid fracture is responsible for 20% of cervical spine fractures. Vertebral artery injuries (VAIs) had widely focused in this setting due to its occurrence with upper cervical fractures. In our case of study, a 42-year-old female...
