Occipital condyle fractures are rare conditions usually associatedwith severe head injury. The diagnosis is difficult using only a plain radiograph and CT scan is necessary in most cases. We report four cases of high energy head trauma and occipital condyle fractures, discussing the diagnosis and treatment options.

Palabras clave : Occipital condyle fracture; head trauma; treatment; diagnosis.
