case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed damage to the transverse ligament resulting in C1-C2 dislocation (increased space between the odontoid and posterior arch of C1) and the presence of retrolisthesis of C3 relative to C4 with signs of spinal cord compression at this level (Figure 3).
