  • Title: [Occipitocervical fusion in rheumatoid arthritis].
    Author: Rittmeister M, Böhme T, Richolt J, Kerschbaumer F.
    Journal: Orthopade; 2001 Dec; 30(12):932-6. PubMed ID: 11803746.
    Abstract:
    A case of spontaneous occipitocervical fusion is discussed. The authors believe that fusion at the occipitocervical junction will occasionally occur in rheumatoid arthritis in the adult population. As a result of fusion, the dens axis is unable to exert compression on the spinal cord with increased neck flexion.
