Odontoid processes in pipefish jaws [PDF]
Nature, 1975 ABSENCE of jaw teeth of any kind has been considered a familial character in pipefishes (Syngnathidae)1–3, and their feeding mode has generally been described as a picking or sucking process resulting from rapid intake of water through the elongate snout4,5. During systematic studies of Indo-Pacific syngnathids, we have found toothlike processes on the

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2020 Aim: An alternative technique of C1-2-3 fixation is described that blocks the critical anteroposterior odontoid process movements and retains rotatory movement at the atlantoaxial joint. The technique involves sharp section of the muscles attached to the
