    Surgical guidelines for symptomatic craniocervical junction abnormalities are proposed. Treatment focuses on stabilization for reducible lesions and decompression for irreducible ones, with high improvement rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Symptomatic abnormalities of the craniocervical junction require effective surgical management.
    • Diagnostic imaging is crucial for understanding compression and reducibility.

    Observation:

    • Seventeen recent cases of craniocervical junction abnormalities were reviewed.
    • Gas or metrizamide (Amipaque) myelograms with pluridirectional tomograms were used for diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Stabilization is the primary goal for reducible lesions.
    • Decompression is essential for irreducible lesions, with ventral approaches (transoral transpalatine resection) and posterior approaches utilized.
    • Fusion was performed when stability was not achieved by other methods.

    Implications:
