  • Title: Specific entities affecting the craniocervical region: Down's syndrome.
    Author: Menezes AH.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 2008 Oct; 24(10):1165-8. PubMed ID: 18421463.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The ligamentous laxities and bony abnormalities associated with Down's syndrome, os odontoideum, achondroplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, and basilar invagination have been discussed with the imaging of the craniocervical junction. These are significant and require suspicion when dealing with children with the previously mentioned entities. CONCLUSION: Previous adverse surgical results in managing these patients reflect the lack of understanding of the underlying pathology and the appropriate surgical treatment.
