Odontoid base hypodensity and its role in type II fracture risk and nonunion: a CT study [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Type II odontoid fractures show high incidence and a notable risk of nonunion. Whether regional variation in trabecular density at the odontoid base contributes to this vulnerability remains unclear.

A Universal Craniometric Index for Establishing the Diagnosis of Basilar Invagination [PDF]

Neurospine, 2021
Objective The conventional criteria for defining the basilar invagination (BI) focus on the relationship of odontoid tip to basion and opisthion, landmarks that are intrinsically variable especially in presence of occipitalised atlas.

Transnasal Endoscopic Approach for Osteoid Osteoma of the Odontoid Process in a Child: Technical Note and Systematic Review of the Literature

Brain Sciences, 2022
Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a primary benign tumor that accounts for up to 3% of all bone tumors. The cervical spine is less affected by OOs, and very few cases of C2 OOs have been reported in the literature, both in adults and children.
