Abstract

Morphological components of craniovertebral junction include bony structures around the foramen magnum, lower brain stem, upper cervical spinal cord, and cerebellar tonsils. Physiological components, which are often overlooked but equally important, consist of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and motions at the junction. The interplays among these factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of signs and symptoms that are similarly found in Chiari I malformation.
