CV JUNCTION
Parts of CV Junction include:-
The Occiput
First Cervical Vertebra (Atlas)
Second Cervical Vertebra (Axis)
Their articulations and
Connecting ligaments
“The C-V junction is a transition site between mobile cranium and relatively rigid spinal column.
It is also the site of the medullo spinal junction”.

Embryology of the CV junction
4th occipital sclerotome, the proatlas and C1 cervical sclerotomegives rise to C1.
Apex of Dense… proatlas.
Body of Dense…C1 and C2 sclerotome.
AXIS develops from five primary and two secondary centers ossifications.

Embryology of the CV junction
The apical segment is not ossified until 3 years of age.
At 12 years it fuses with odontoid to form normal odontoid; failure leads to Os Terminale

Anatomy of the CV junction
ATLANTO-AXIAL JOINT:
Normal range of cervical motion is 900 on each side, range of rotation of atlas on axis being 25-530
Rotation of >560 on one side or a R-L diff >80
implies hyper mobility
Rotation of <280 implies hypo mobility

Basilar invigination….The upward displacement of upper cervical spine including odontoid through the foramen magnum into posterior fossa.
![Page 27: Craniovertebral juction 1 by dr mohammad mushtaq](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a73af11a28abe6258b45d0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pathogenesis
1. Emberyological dysgenesis,genetics, maldevelopment of craniovertebral transition region.
2. Secondary abnormally alignment of fascet joints of atlas and axis leading to progressive slippage of atlas over axis which results in odondoid tip inviginationsuperoir and posterior into cranio cervical cord.
![Page 28: Craniovertebral juction 1 by dr mohammad mushtaq](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a73af11a28abe6258b45d0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Classification
Type1. the odontoid tip inviginates into foramen magnum indented into brainstem. atlanto odontoid distance increases. odentoid tip is above CL,McR,wccl.
volume of posterior fossa and Cl angle z normal.
Type2. odontoid tip,ant arch of C1 and clivus migrate superiorly in unison, results in small post fossa causing ACM. odontoid tip is only above CL not wccl,McR.
![Page 30: Craniovertebral juction 1 by dr mohammad mushtaq](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a73af11a28abe6258b45d0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Type A.
Based on mechanical instability.just like type1 but normal horizontal poition of fascet joint changes into oblique position.which leads progressive slippage.
Type B.
there is congenital dysgenesis , and atlantoaxialjoints were normal or entirely fused.
![Page 31: Craniovertebral juction 1 by dr mohammad mushtaq](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a73af11a28abe6258b45d0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Treatment
Type1.
85% can be reduced with traction
Transoral decompression and posterior fusion
Its superior to include craniovertebral realignment procedure.
Type2.
only 15% reduced with traction.foramen magnum decompression is appropriate

ATLANTO-AXIAL SUBLUXATION (AAS) : anterior
type
Anterior Atlanto-Dental Interval (AADI) :
AAS is present when it is >3mm in adults & >5mm in children
Measured from posteroinferior margin of ant arch of C1 to the ant surface of odontoid
AADI 3-6 mm trans lig. damage
AADI >6mm alar lig. damage also
AADI >9mm surgical stabilization
![Page 37: Craniovertebral juction 1 by dr mohammad mushtaq](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a73af11a28abe6258b45d0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ATLANTO-AXIAL SUBLUXATION (AAS) : anterior type
Posterior Atlanto-Dental
Interval (PADI) :
** Distance b/w posterior
surface of odontoid & anterior margin of post ring of C1
Considered better method as it directly measures the spinal canal
Normal : 17-29 mm at C1
PADI <14mm : predicts cord compression
![Page 38: Craniovertebral juction 1 by dr mohammad mushtaq](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a73af11a28abe6258b45d0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

ATLANTO-AXIAL SUBLUXATION (AAS) : rare
types
Posterior AAS – rare, associated with deficient odontoid process.
Rotatory AAS -
![Page 47: Craniovertebral juction 1 by dr mohammad mushtaq](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042518/55a73af11a28abe6258b45d0/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
ATLANTO-AXIAL ROTATORY SUBLUXATION
Less common cause of Torticollis in children. Subluxation usually occurs within normal range of rotation of A-A joint.
Fielding types:
Type I :TAL ..intact, facet injury... bilateral (AD less than 3mm)
Type II : TAL.. Injured, facet injury... unilateral (AD 3.1 to 5mm)
Type III : TAL.. Injured, facet injury.... bilateral >5mm AD
Type IV : Incompetence of odotoid with posterior dispacement
DIAGNOSIS:
X-Ray : asymmetry of lateral masses on open mouth odontoid view. Lateral mass that has rotated forwards appear wider and closer to midline.

Specific Anomalies – Occiput anomalies
Condylus Tertius (IIIrdoccipital condyle) :
when proatlas persists or fails to migrate, an ossified remnant is seen at distal end of clivus
May form pseudo joint with odontoid or ant arch of C1 and limit mobility of CVJ
Increased prevalence of Os Odontoideum seen

Usually occurs in association with other anomalies such as BI and Klippel Feil syndrome.
Associated with segmentation failures b/w C2-3 : atlanto-axial subluxation in 50%.

Also called Bergman Ossicle.
Results from failure of fusion of the terminal ossicle to the rest of odontoid
Normally fusion occurs by 12 yrs of age
Stable anomaly when isolated with normal height of dens
