Fusion of axis with third cervical vertebra: a case report
Romanian Neurosurgery, 2016 Abstract Introduction: Fusion of one or more contiguous vertebral segments is usually the result of embryological failure of normal spinal segmentation. It may be associated with syndromes such as Klippel-Feil. Fused cervical vertebrae (FCV) may also be acquired or pathologic. FCV is generally associated with disease like tuberculosis, other infections,

Morphometric Analysis of Human Second Cervical Vertebrae (Axis) [PDF]
Journal of Spine, 2017 Possessing an odontoid process and unique superior articular facets, the axis vertebra morphometry significantly differs from morphometry of other cervical vertebrae. The fractures of axis, especially its dens, are very common and surgeries highly risky. Knowledge of the axis dimensions is essential not only for preclinical studies, diagnosis of spinal

Evaluation of the efficiency of cervical orthoses on cervical fracture: A review of literature
Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2016 Background: Various methods have been used to stabilize the vertebra in cervical fractures, including the use of various orthoses and surgery. However, it is not cleared which type of orthosis is more suitable for the subjects with cervical fractures to ...

Osteolytic mass bridging two cervical vertebrae: Unusual presentation of a vertebral body hemangioma
Radiology Case Reports, 2014 Vertebral hemangioma is the most common spinal axis tumor. This rare presentation of a vertebral hemangioma extended contiguously from one cervical vertebra to another, encasing the vertebral artery, and thereby mimicking other tumors of the spine.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2023 AbstractAtlantoaxial abnormalities are rarely documented among wild animals. Many defects of segmentation in the spine are hereditary in domestic species and humans. Here, we present a block vertebra in an eastern wapiti (Cervus canadensis canadensis) from the Angel Site (12Vg1) in southern Indiana (USA) dating to 1000–1400 CE.
