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

Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..

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.
