Transoral-Transpalatal Approach and Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Chordomas of the Craniovertebral Junction
Chordomas often arise from the midline clivus and extend bidirectional into the nasopharynx, intracranium, CVJ, and upper cervical area. To achieve longer survival rates, the first choice of treatment for this type of epidural tumor is complete surgical removal because of their high recurrence rates [1-6]. Nevertheless, it is difficult to achieve complete removal because of their extensiveness ...

Among the anterior approaches, the established method is anterior odontoid screw fixation. Posterior approaches are classified as either atlanto-axial fixation or occipito-cervical (O-C) fixation. Spinal instrumentation using anchor screws and rods has become a popul...
متن کاملManagement of Metastatic Lesions to the Craniovertebral Junction
C junction (CVJ) metastases are a rare and challenging pathology. The CVJ includes the occipital condyles and the atlanto-axial (AA) spine. The primary treatment goals for metastases to the spine are palliative in nature. Due to the rare occurrence of metastases in the CVJ region, there is very little literature, and most of the literature is limited to case series (Table 1) (1,3,4,6,10,13,17,2...
