Summary

The authors stress the frequency of metastases of the cervico-occipital junction unrecognized in medical literature: 30 cases have been diagnosed within four months. They report their different patterns and complications and insist on the prefractured pattern with osteolysis of the body of C-2 which can be shown only by polytomography. The authors propose that a tomographic study of the cervico-occipital junction should be systematically included in every analysis of metastatic extension of osteophilic tumors.
