Neuronavigation-assisted transoral-transpharyngeal approach for basilar invagination--two case reports.
Two patients presented with congenital basilar invagination manifesting as progressive myelopathy. Both patients underwent surgery using a neuronavigation-assisted transoral-transpharyngeal approach. The Brain-LAB Vector Vision navigation system was used for image guidance. The registration accuracies were 0.9 and 1.3 mm. After decompression, posterior stabilization was performed. Both patients...
متن کاملDa Vinci Robot-assisted transoral odontoidectomy for basilar invagination.
The transoral approach is an effective way to decompress the craniocervical junction due to basilar invagination. This approach has been described and refined, but significant limitations and technical challenges remain. Specifically, should the transoral route be used for intradural pathology, such as a meningioma, or should an inadvertent durotomy occur during extradural dissection, achieving...
متن کاملUse of Frameless Stereotactic Neuronavigation and O-arm for Transoral Transpalatal Odontoidectomy to Treat a Very High Basilar Invagination
Frameless stereotactic neuronavigation system has been in wide use since many years for precise localization of cranial tumors and navigation for spinal instrumentation. We present its usage in the localization of odontoid process in a very high basilar invagination for a transoral transpalatal resection of the same. We discuss the technical aspects of assembly of neuronavigation system, O-arm ...
متن کاملBasilar Invagination: Case Report and Literature Review.
BACKGROUND Basilar invagination is a rare clinical condition characterized by upward protrusion of the odontoid process into the intracranial space, leading to bulbomedullary compression. It is often encountered in adults with rheumatoid arthritis. Transoral microscopic or endonasal endoscopic decompression may be pursued, with or without posterior fixation. We present a case of basilar invagin...
متن کاملPlatybasia and basilar invagination.
Descriptions of the flattening (platybasia) of the skull base and the upward displacement(impression) of the basilar and condylar portions of the occipitalbone by the upper cervical spine date to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Anatomical measurements to display these abnormalities were begun in 1865, but the full clinical significance was not appreciated until Homen's work in 1901. Sub...
