Clinical history and neuroimaging of the patient are described. Discussion: Computed tomography (CT) imaging of the head revealed a retroclival haematoma with secondary hydrocephalus. The cranio-cervical junction showed an AOD that was initially overlooked. Traumatic AOD is a rare diagnosis although in the recent years it has become an emergent entity due to the improvement of emergency medical treatment on the field. Conclusion: An initial diligent imaging study and interpretation should be made to avoid misdiagnosis and to provide adequate treatment. This is the first case reported of the association of AOD, hydrocephalus and retroclival haematoma. A brief review of the literature is also presented.
