Hypertrophic Posterior Arch of Atlas Causing Cervical Myelopathy [PDF]
Cervical stenosis, especially of the upper cervical spine, is quite rare which can be developmental or acquired. Clefts or aplasias of anterior and posterior arches of atlas, ossification of the transverse atlantal ligament, hypertrophy of the dens and os odontoideum are rare conditions causing cervical myelopathy reported either singly or in ...

Comprehensive bioinformatic analysis reveals oncogenic role of H2A.Z isoforms in cervical cancer progression [PDF]
Objective(s): Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common neoplasia in women worldwide in which epigenetic alterations play an important role. Several studies have reported pro-oncogenic role of the histone variant H2A.Z in different types of cancer;

Inequalities in the incidence of cervical cancer in South East England 2001-2005: an investigation of population risk factors. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The incidence of cervical cancer varies dramatically, both globally and within individual countries. The age-standardised incidence of cervical cancer was compared across primary care trusts (PCTs) in South East England, taking into account ...

RAIDS atlas of significant genetic and protein biomarkers in cervical cancer
Loss of function in epigenetic acting genes together with driver alterations in the PIK3CA pathway have been shown significantly associated with poor outcome in cervical squamous cell cancer. More recently, a CoxBoost analysis identified 16 gene alterations and 30 high level activated proteins to be of high interest, due to their association with ...

Cervical Myelopathy Caused by a Split Atlas Anomaly: A Case Report [PDF]
An 18-year-old male presented with a 6-month history of paresthesia of both arms and legs after a minor neck trauma. CT scan revealed a partial aplasia of the anterior and posterior arches of the C1 vertebra resulting in a split atlas. MRI showed an intramedullary high-signal area. We performed a posterior decompressive laminectomy and occipitocervical

Reconsidering the tectorial membrane: A morphological study
Background: Published descriptions of the tectorial membrane have been inconsistent. Descriptions vary from a simple ligamentous band extending between the axis and occiput to a more complex layered structure composed of bands of fibers.

Cervical cord compression by solitary osteochondroma of the atlas. [PDF]
A 28 year old woman presented a syndrome of slow spinal compression evolving over four and a half years at the level C1--C2 vertebrae due to a solitary osteochondroma of the posterior arch of the atlas which was excised by laminectomy. Radiographys of the skeleton did not show the presence of other osteogenic tumours. This is the fifth case of solitary

Posterior midline cleft of the atlas – a crucial anatomical variation in vertebral fractures
The anatomy of the first vertebra, namely atlas, has significant clinical implications. Atlas is situated between the occipital bone and the second cervical vertebra (axis) and is one of the main points of head movement.

Dystopic Os odontoideum: A rare cause of atlantoaxial instability
Os odontoideum is a relatively common developmental anomaly of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ), which is usually an incidental finding on spine imaging. But the dystopic variety of os odontoideum is uncommon and can be baleful.
