Ossification of the posterior atlantoaxial membrane associated with an os odontoideum: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of ossification of the posterior atlantoaxial membrane associated with an os odontoideum in a 46-year-old woman. She developed myelopathy following a minor motor vehicle accident. The patient underwent posterior atlantoaxial arthrodesis and resection of the ossified lesion and recovered uneventfully. Long-standing atlantoaxial instability might have played a role in ectopic ossification of the posterior atlantoaxial membrane.

Transoral approach for revision surgery of os odontoideum with atlantoaxial dislocation.
Revision surgery for os odontoideum with irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation with a transoral approach is not commonly seen. Typically, management of this type of atlantoaxial dislocation is through posterior fixation and fusion or transoral decompression and posterior fusion. This report describes revision surgery in a patient with os odontoideum who was treated with a transoral approach. A 5...
متن کامل“Orthotopic” ossiculum terminale persistens and atlantoaxial instability in a child less than 12 years of age: a case report and review of the literature
We report ossiculum terminale persistens associated with atlantoaxial instability in a child less than 12 years of age. Static and dynamic X-rays, thin-cut computed tomography with sagittal and coronal reconstructions, and magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine showed atlantoaxial instability and an "orthotopic" ossiculum terminale persistens. This pathologic state was differentiated ...
متن کاملOs-odontoideum leading to atlanto-axial instability--report of surgery in four cases.
Os odontoideum can lead to atlantoaxial instability, which can be either reducible or a fixed dislocation. We present surgical management in four patients with os odontoideum at our center. Two of these had reducible dislocations and were managed by posterior transarticular screw fixation. Other two had fixed dislocations necessitating posterior decompression and occipitocervical fixation.
متن کاملAn Unusual Association of Os Odontoideum Compressive Synovial Cyst and Multiple Sclerosis: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Os odontoideum is a rare atlantoaxial abnormality that affects the odontoid process. It has been proposed to be a congenital anomaly due to lack of chondral tissue or failed ossification along the growth line of the proatlas and the first spinal sclerotome, which are the precursors for the future odontoid process [1]. Some authors have argued against this theory and believe that os odontoideum ...
