Morphometric Evaluation of the Craniovertebral Junction Using Computed Tomography: A Sex-Based Analysis of 500 Adults. [PDF]
Background and Objective The anatomy of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) varies considerably across populations, yet comprehensive Turkish‐specific morphometric data remain limited. We aim to establish normative CVJ measurements in Turkish males and females using computed tomography (CT). Study Design Retrospective morphological study.

Tuberculosis of the craniovertebral junction [PDF]
Tuberculosis (TB) of craniovertebral junction (CVJ) occurs in 1-5 % of cases of TB spondylitis. This can be a life-threatening condition due to mass effect of infective process or resultant instability. Surgical indications for TB of CVJ are not clear from literature.We have reviewed all the patients with TB of CVJ admitted at our center between 2005 ...
