Occipital Neuralgia after Occipital Cervical Fusion to Treat an Unstable Jefferson Fracture
In this report we describe a patient with an unstable Jefferson fracture who was treated by occipitocervical fusion and later reported sustained postoperative occipital neuralgia. A 70-year-old male was admitted to our center with a Jefferson fracture induced by a car accident. Preoperative lateral X-ray revealed an atlanto-dens interval of 4.8mm and a C1 canal anterior-posterior diameter of 19...
متن کاملTotal fusion of atlas with occipital bone: a case report
Atlas is the first cervical vertebra. It is ring shaped, without a body. It has an anterior arch, a posterior arch and two lateral masses. The lateral masses articulate with the occipital condyles to form ellipsoid type of synovial joints. The anterior arch articulates with the dens of the axis vertebra to form a pivot type of synovial joint. The posterior arch is grooved by the third part of t...
متن کاملSpheno-Occipital Synchondrosis Fusion Correlates with Cervical Vertebrae Maturation
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the closure stage of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis and the maturational stage of the cervical vertebrae (CVM) in growing and young adult subjects using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT images with an extended field of view obtained from 315 participants (148 females and 167 males; mean age 15.6 ±7.3 years; range 6 to...
متن کاملOsteoma of occipital bone
Osteomas are benign, bone-forming tumours located within bones or developing on them. In the head and neck region they are commonly seen in the frontoethmoidal region. Occipital osteomas are very rare tumours. They are often asymptomatic and are incidentally found on radiological investigations. The main clinical symptom is headache of varying intensity and quality, though some patients may com...
متن کاملAnterior Cervical Retropharyngeal Debridement Combined With Occipital Cervical Fusion to Upper Cervical Tuberculosis.
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of 11 cases. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of anterior cervical and retropharyngeal debridement combined with posterior occipital-cervical fusion in treatment of upper cervical spinal tuberculosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The anterior approach simply could not provide strong fixation whereas the posterior treatment ...
