Diagnosis and suggested treatment against an isolated unilateral rupture of the alar ligament - Concerning one case.

BACKGROUND

An isolated rupture of the alar ligament is a rare occurrence with only a few cases reported in the literature.

CASE REPORT: The objective was to report the case of a young man with a unilateral rupture of the alar ligament that we closely monitored, clinically and radiologically, in order to describe the evolution of the alar ligament lesions.

CONCLUSION

Radiological diagnosis using cervical MRI and duration of the conservative treatment remain debated and we proposed a close radiological follow-up in order to best understand the nature of these ligament lesions and their evolution following specific treatment.
