Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rheumatology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Cranial settling involves erosive changes in the atlantal lateral masses, leading to atlas-axis instability.
  • This condition is often associated with rheumatoid arthritis and can cause cervicomedullary compression.
  • It is considered a potentially life-threatening complication in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
