Chiari 1 malformation with Platybasia
Romanian Neurosurgery, 2023 Background. The incidence of CM-I is estimated to be 1/1,000 births. In rare cases, CM-I is complicated by associations with other malformations of the craniocervical junction, including mainly Basilar invagination (BI). Chiari malformation (CM) is characterized by a congenital malformation of the posterior cranial fossa with cerebellar tonsils ...

Cranio-vertebral transition assessment by magnetic resonance imaging in a sample of a northeast Brazilian population [PDF]
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2017 Platybasia and basilar invagination are important alterations of the cranial-vertebral transition. Neuroimaging-based platybasia parameters include the Welcker basal angle, distance between the apex of the odontoid and Chamberlain’s line, and the clivus ...

3-D simulation of posterior fossa reduction in Chiari I [PDF]
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2016 We proposed a 3D model to evaluate the role of platybasia and clivus length in the development of Chiari I (CI). Using a computer aided design software, two DICOM files of a normal CT scan and MR were used to simulate different clivus lengths (CL) and ...

Teaching Neuro Images : Platybasia and basilar invagination in osteogenesis imperfecta [PDF]
Neurology, 2011 A 15-year-old girl with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and multiple bone fractures since early childhood presented with occipital headache. She had blue sclera and short neck (figure 1), right hypoglossal palsy, bilateral pyramidal tract signs, and gaze-evoked nystagmus. Cervical MRI showed platybasia, basilar invagination, brainstem/high cord …

Morphometric Evaluation of the Craniovertebral Junction Using Computed Tomography: A Sex-Based Analysis of 500 Adults. [PDF]
Biomed Res IntBackground 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.
