High impact information on Platybasia

 

Gene context of Platybasia

  • The symptoms of the basilar impression are probably caused by compression of the vessels of the lower cerebellar region and the brainstem as well as by disturbances of the CSF circulation [7].
  • (3) The most appropriate operative procedure must be selected: stable platybasia with a nervous compression by Chiari is cured only by posterior decompression; odontoid instability is cured by reduction and posterior fixation, using hooks and autologous bone grafts on the posterior arches of C-1 and C-2 [8].
  • Basilar impression associated with this case may be considered a pure coincidence, but rare cases of basilar impression and NF1 have been described [9].
