Unusual finding of the craniocervical junction

Clinical Anatomy, 2005
The authors report a rare anomaly of the upper cervical spine. After an automobile accident, an 8-year-old child underwent CT of the head. Imaging showed a bony anomaly of the neck that was further imaged with thin cuts through the atlas and axis. This demonstrated an unfused anterior arch of the atlas and fusion of the odontoid process to the anterior

Bony animlies of the craniocervical junction

Central African Journal of Medicine, 2002
A review of the literature on bony anomalies of the craniovertebral junction was carried out with emphasis on anomalous manifestations associated with the occipital bone, atlas and axis vertebrae. A summary of the evolution and normal development of the above bony structures and the embryological structures contributing to the bony anomalies is ...

Management of craniocervical junction dislocation

Child's Nervous System, 2000
The discovery of a craniocervical junction malformation requires management in three steps: (1) The patterns must be recognized using tomographic measurements (Chamberlain's line, Wackenheim's line). Dynamic flexion-extension studies are necessary to assess stability or instability.

Anterolateral approach to the craniocervical junction

Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2005
The authors present the surgical results obtained using the anterolateral approach to the craniocervical junction (CCJ) to resect a lesion with an extradural component located anterolateral to the foramen magnum and upper cervical spine.The anterolateral approach, which is a presternomastoid retrojugular route to the CCJ, was performed in 14 patients ...

Neuroenteric cyst of the craniocervical junction

Australasian Radiology, 2006
SummaryA neuroenteric cyst is a rare cause of an intradural, extramedullary mass. We report the MRI findings in a case of a neuroenteric cyst of the craniovertebral junction without associated abnormalities.

Anatomy of the craniocervical junction — A review

Neurochirurgie
An in-depth understanding of the anatomy of the craniocervical junction (CCJ) is indispensable in skull base neurosurgery. In this paper, we discuss the osteology of the occipital bone, the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), the ligaments and the muscle anatomy of the CCJ region and their relationships with the vertebral artery.

Pediatric Craniocervical Junction Injuries

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2011
The purpose of this article is to review pediatric craniocervical junction injuries in the context of embryology, developmental anatomy, and biomechanics.The craniocervical junction is functionally and developmentally distinct from the rest of the spine, and mechanistic models often fail to explain these injuries.

Craniocervical junction instability after lateral approach of the craniocervical junction

2011
The craniocervical junction (CCJ) is an anatomically complex region and essential for cervical mobility. It contributes to about 50% of the range of motion (ROM) of the cervical spine. The occiput-C1-C2 apparatus not only conducts and protects the vertebral artery as it transitions from the transverse foramina to the point where it penetrates the dura ...

Transoral-transpharyngeal approach to the craniocervical junction

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1995
The transoral‐transpharyngeal approach is a reliable and technically sound method for gaining anterior extradural exposure to the craniocervical junction. We report 23 patients undergoing this approach for pathology lying between the inferior clivus and third cervical vertebra. Pathology included 6 patients with congenital malformations of the odontoid
