Abstract

Atlas-duplication is an exceedingly rare dysplasia of the craniocervical junction. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases of atlas-duplication have been reported and these were associated with complete anterior rachischisis and os odontoideum. We aimed to report a case of isolated atlas-duplication of incidental finding and without attributable symptoms which makes it unique.
