Transoral Surgery for Cranio-cervical Junction Compression

A pictorial essay: Congenital malformations of the cranio- cervical junction

Change in cranio-cervical angulation following orthognathic surgery.

Changes in natural head posture (NHP) were investigated in 33 patients (10 males, 23 females) with an age range of 16-40 years (median 21 years) following orthognathic surgery to change vertical face height. The reproducibility of the radiographer's technique of taking radiographs in NHP was investigated using a photographic method and found to be acceptable. The patients were divided into two ...
