Agenesis of the Odontoid Process
Radiology, 1956Failure of ossification of the odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra is a rare developmental anomaly which may be asymptomatic for many years. As a result of more thorough roentgenologic examinations, the condition has been noted with increasing frequency since its original description by Roberts in 1933 (1).

FRACTURE OF THE ODONTOID PROCESS
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1976A review of 26 cases of odontoid fractures has been carried out. Late diagnosis and consequent delay in treatment were found to be important causes of non‐union. Myelopathy in odontoid fractures is of two types. One type is that present immediately after injury, while the other is delayed.

The British Journal of Radiology, 1983
From a randomised series of 500 adult patients, average measurements of the normal adult odontoid peg in the vertical and sagittal planes as seen on a standard lateral film of the cervical spine are given, and it is suggested that measurements which fall below this range should be interpreted as indicating "odontoid hypoplasia" irrespective of the ...

Osteomyelitis of the Odontoid Process
Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1988Pyogenic osteomyelitis of the odontoid process is a rare condition requiring a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. The three cases presented illustrate that patients with severe neck pain, aggravated by rotation, and persistent fever without apparent source should be studied carefully to exclude infection of the C1-C2 area.

Management of odontoid fractures
Neurosurgery, 1982Fifty-one adults with odontoid fractures were treated between 1966 and 1979. Approximately 50% had additional trauma; over half of the patients were younger than 40 years old. Three patients presented with myelopathy: 1 was complete at C-2 and the others recovered. Cervical roentgenograms were initially considered normal in 4 patients. The fracture was

AbstractOdontoid hypoplasia is a developmental abnormality, which is often asymptomatic. However significant sequelae can occur in some individuals, particularly after head or neck trauma. This anomaly is not generally known to be familial. We report on four affected individuals in the same family with odontoid hypoplasia, suggesting autosomal dominant

Odontoid fractures remain the most common C2 fracture and of those individuals older than 65 years. The type of optimal management remains in question given comorbidities, risk of nonunion, and limitations in mobility when surgical fusion is the treatment selected.
