When Rare Anomalies Converge: Anesthetic Management of Pediatric Frontal Encephalocele With Chiari I Malformation and Syringomyelia

Perioperative Medicine
Background. Encephaloceles associated with craniovertebral junction anomalies such as Chiari malformation and syringomyelia are exceedingly rare and pose unique anesthetic challenges due to risks of diffi cult airway, raised intracranial pressure (ICP),

Launching the DCER (Distraction, Compression, Extension, and Reduction) Technique in Basilar Invagination and Atlantoaxial Dislocation: A Preliminary Report of Two Cases in Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2023
Background and Importance: Developmental craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies are often comprised of irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) and basilar invagination (BI) associated with the fusion of the C1 arch.

Pediatric Craniovertebral Junction Trauma

, 2013
The craniovertebral junction consists of the occiput, atlas, and axis, along with their strong ligamentous attachments. Because of its unique anatomical considerations, trauma to the craniovertebral junction requires specialized care.

Anomalous vertebral arteries in Klippel-Feil syndrome with occipitalized atlas: CT angiography

Radiology Case Reports, 2018
Klippel-Feil syndrome is an uncommon anomaly that may be asymptomatic. Early clinical signs such as restricted neck motion or short neck can be subtle and incorrectly treated as spasms.

Morphometric Evaluation of the Craniovertebral Junction Using Computed Tomography: A Sex‐Based Analysis of 500 Adults

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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.

Craniovertebral junction instability in Larsen syndrome: An institutional series and review of literature

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2020
Objective: Larsen syndrome (LS) is characterized by osteo-chondrodysplasia, multiple joint dislocations, and craniofacial abnormalities. Symptomatic myelopathy is attributed to C1–C2 instability and sub-axial cervical kyphosis.

Klippel–Feil Syndrome: A Rare Case Report

Case Reports in Radiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Klippel–Feil syndrome (KFS) is a rare, complex syndrome characterized by abnormal fusion of cervical vertebrae. This case highlights the effectiveness of conservative management in KFS patients without neurological deficits. We reported the case of an 18‐year‐old Iraqi male presenting a short neck, low back hairline, winged right scapula, and scoliosis

Phase‐Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging Identifies Low Cerebrospinal Fluid Velocity at the Foramen Magnum in Small Breed Dogs With an Enlarged Ventricular System

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background In small breed dogs, enlarged ventricles of the brain are a common finding on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In humans, enlarged lateral ventricles are usually the consequence of mesencephalic aqueduct stenosis. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) velocity measurements indicating obstruction are lacking in dogs.
