摘要:
A rare case of craniovertebral junction anomaly with associated reducible C-1-C-2 dislocation and assimilation of the atlas is reported. The patient presented with neck pain with spastic quadriparesis. A posterior stabilization utilizing a contour rod, sublaminar wire fixation and onlay bone grafts between the occiput, and C-3 and C-4 vertebrae was performed followed by symptomatic improvement.
