Evaluating Ossifications of the Nuchal Ligament with Cervical Computed Tomography.
Objective The nuchal ligament (NL) extends from the external occipital protuberance and median nuchal line to the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebrae. In this study, we evaluated the incidence, location level, and size of ossifications of the NL (ONL) in patients who underwent cervical computed tomography (CT) for various reasons. Materials and Methods The present study included 481...
متن کاملThe nuchal ligament restrains cervical spine flexion.
STUDY DESIGN A biomechanical study using a cadaver model was conducted to define the function of the nuchal ligament in the restraint of flexion of the cervical spine. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that surgical resection of the nuchal ligament significantly reduces the structural restraints to cervical flexion. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Although previous studies have examined the role ...
متن کاملStylohyoid Ligament Syndrome –Solving the riddle with 3D Computed Tomography
Orofacial pain can be associated with stylohyiod ligament calcification or enlargement of styloid process. Calcification or ossification of the stylohyoid ligament is infrequent, often incidental finding on radiographs, however when the source of pain is from the styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligaments it is referred to as Eagle's syndrome. This case report discusses the pain pattern,...
متن کاملRange of Motion Determined by Multidetector-row Computed Tomography in Patients with Cervical Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
The purpose of this study was to measure range of motion (ROM) in patients with cervical ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (C-OPLL) by multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT), and to investigate the influence of dynamic factors. The study included 101 patients with C-OPLL and 99 normal control patients. Preoperative MDCT were taken in all subjects in maximum neck flexion and ...
متن کاملEvaluating the Distance between Posterior Teeth and the Maxillary Sinus Floor Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Background and Objectives The topography of the sinus floor and its relationship with maxillary teeth roots varies with age, pneumatization size and grade, positioning of the teeth, and Genetics. This study used cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the distance between posterior teeth and the maxillary sinus floor in patients in Rafsanjan City, Iran. Materials and Methods This de...
