Abstract
Although proatlas segmentation abnormalities as developmental remnants around the foramen magnum have been reported in postmortem studies, they are rarely documented in a clinical setting. This report details the clinical and radiological characteristics of a rare case of proatlas segmentation abnormalities with clinical onset during the seventh decade of life. This case was suspected to have a familial factor. We also review the literature regarding this condition.
