Jun 10, 2019 · Type 1 fractures result from axial compression with comminution of the occipital condyle, and the intact alar ligaments and tectorial membrane tend to stabilize the craniovertebral junction (CVJ). Type 2 fractures result from a direct blow to the skull base and occipital condyle, and the intact alar ligaments tend to stabilize the CVJ.

Dec 26, 2022 · This document discusses various methods of craniometry used to diagnose craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies through multimodality radiological assessment. It describes several important cranial landmarks and reference lines used to evaluate the CVJ, including Chamberlain's line, McRae's line, McGregor's line, and Wackenheim's line.

Dec 18, 2019 · Chamberlain line is a line joining the back of hard palate with the opisthion on a lateral view of the craniocervical junction. It helps to recognize basilar invagination which is said to be present if the tip of the dens is >3 mm above this line.

Apr 26, 2024 · Craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies can be congenital, developmental or due to malformation secondary to an acquired disease process. These anomalies can lead to cranial nerve compression, vertebral artery compression, and obstructive hydrocephalus.

Mar 1, 1994 · The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) comprises the occiput, atlas, and axis and is visible in most magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies of the brain. Craniometric measurements used in radiologic assessment of CVJ anomalies include the Chamberlain line, Wackenheim clivus baseline, Welcher basal angle, and atlantooccipital joint axis angle.

On radiographs cranio-caudal range of CVJ extends from a line drawn between the internal occipital protuberance and the midpoint of the distance from the dorsum sellae and anterior margin of the Foramen Magnum (FM) to the level of …

Jul 22, 2017 · This document discusses various methods of craniometry used to diagnose craniovertebral junction (CVJ) anomalies through multimodality radiological assessment. It describes several important cranial landmarks and reference lines used to evaluate the CVJ, including Chamberlain's line, McRae's line, McGregor's line, and Wackenheim's line.

The craniovertebral (or craniocervical) junction(CVJ) is a collective term that refers to the occiput (posterior skull base), atlas, axis, and supporting ligaments. It is a transition zone b/w a mobile cranium & relatively rigid spinal column.

The Craniovertebral Junction (CVJ) [also called cranio cervical region] is a collective term that refers to the following structures- occiput (posterior skull base), atlas, axis and supporting ligaments.
