    Transoral surgery for basilar invagination effectively relieved myelopathy. Targeted surgical approaches based on craniocervical imaging significantly improved patient outcomes, even with long-term symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Basilar impression with odontoid invagination can cause progressive myelopathy.
    • Surgical intervention is often necessary to decompress the spinal cord.
    • Posterior decompression may pose risks in certain basilar impression cases.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with myelopathy due to odontoid invagination.
    • Transoral removal of the inferior clivus, odontoid process, and anterior atlas arch was performed due to perceived risks of posterior decompression.

    Findings:

    • The transoral approach successfully decompressed the medulla.
    • The patient experienced marked improvement despite long-standing symptoms.
    • Craniocervical tomograms accurately identified the direction of medullary compression.

    Implications:

    • Targeted surgical approaches, guided by imaging, are crucial for treating basilar impression.
    • Transoral surgery is a viable option for specific basilar impression pathologies.
    • Accurate diagnosis via craniocervical imaging dictates the optimal surgical strategy and improves patient prognosis.
