Abstract:
Cervical vertebral anomalies are often associated with malformations or traumas, they may be completely asymptomatic and represent an occasional finding in vertigo or can cause severe neurologic complications (ie, compression of the upper cervical spine with myelopathy, epilepsy, or respiratory failure). This clinical case is a patient who came to us for observation for a peripheral harmonic vestibular syndrome, and in whom a malformation of the cervical vertebral joint (os odontoideum) was occasionally found on magnetic resonance imaging.
