Abstract

This group of lesions includes occipitalization of the atlas and basilar impression. Also discussed in this section are the Klippel-Feil deformity, which has a common association with craniovertebral junction anomalies, and atlanto-occipital hypermobility, which is being reported with increasing frequency.

“I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and judgment. I will never do harm to anyone.” Hippocrates of Cos
