Posterior occipito cervical decompression with fixation and fusion in Cranio vertebral junction compression
Objective To find out the clinical outcome of posterior decompression with occipitocervical fixation and fusion in patients with Craniovertebral junction instability. Methods Eighty consecutive patients of cranio vertebral junction (CVJ) compression were treated in the department of neurosurgery, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi over a period of 05 years from 1st January 201...
متن کاملCervical vertebral erosions and subluxations in rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
Atlanto-axial and lower cervical subluxations are frequently present in rhematoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Vertebral erosions, particularly of the odontoid process, can often be demonstrated. Rheumatoid involvement of the occipito-atlanto-axial joints may cause a vertical translation of the cervical spine with respect to the skull; at times, this is associated with true basilar inv...
متن کاملOccipito-cervical fusion. Indications, technique and results.
Fusion ofthe occiput to the upper cervical spine is an uncommon but important operation as it is the only means ofpermanently stabilising the interveningjoints. Instability ofthe atlas or axis on the remainder of the cervical spine is dangerous, and if it progresses to subluxation or dislocation there is a risk of damage to the medulla, spinal cord and nerve roots. Fusion may be required for pr...
متن کاملSuccessful cranio-cervical fusion in a patient with Down syndrome.
We present a patient with Down syndrome with neck pain and severe cervical myelopathy. Imaging revealed occipito-atlantal and atlanto-axial instability with severe spinal cord compression. There are no standardized radiological or clinical guidelines to aid in managing this unique subset of patients. We demonstrate a successful occiput-C3 internal fixation and fusion without complication. Due t...
متن کاملPlatybasia and basilar invagination.
Descriptions of the flattening (platybasia) of the skull base and the upward displacement(impression) of the basilar and condylar portions of the occipitalbone by the upper cervical spine date to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Anatomical measurements to display these abnormalities were begun in 1865, but the full clinical significance was not appreciated until Homen's work in 1901. Sub...
