Objective Basilar impression (BI) is a rare yet debilitating abnormality of the craniovertebral
junction, known to cause life-threatening medullary brainstem compression. Our study …

The basal forebrain (BF) contains at least three distinct populations of neurons (cholinergic,

Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I) is unclear, and the cause of CM-I–associated …

BACKGROUND Occipital-cervical fusion (OCF) and ventral decompression (VD) may be
used in the treatment of pediatric Chiari-1 malformation (CM-1) with syringomyelia (SM) as …

Background Over the past decades, supported by preliminary anatomic and clinical studies
exploring its feasibility and safety, experience has increased of the use of the endoscopic …

Background Endoscopic endonasal odontoidectomy (EEO) has been described as a
