Abstract
Wire breakage after a cervical occiput to C2 wire fixation and fusion resulted in the transdural and intramedullary migration of a wire frag ment in a patient who remained neurologically intact. The risks of sub laminar wiring fixation are discussed, along with newer techniques for posterior cervical stabilization.
