  • Title: Navigated transoral odontoidectomy to treat congenital basilar invagination after failed posterior reduction and fusion.

    Journal: Neurosurg Focus Video; 2020 Jul; 3(1):V8. PubMed ID: 36285122.
    Abstract:
    Transoral odontoidectomy is a traditional technique to treat congenital basilar invagination (BI) associated with atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD). Although posterior surgery has been a trend to treat most cases, there are still cases that need to be treated through a transoral approach. In addition, intraoperative modern image-guided navigation systems help identify any remnants of the dens and decrease the risk of vertebral artery injury. For symptomatic cases with a history of previous posterior fusion and severe osteoporosis, transoral odontoidectomy is preferred over a posterior-only approach. Our video demonstrates the surgical technique for transoral revision odontoidectomy to treat congenital basilar invagination associated with atlantoaxial dislocation after previous posterior craniovertebral junction surgery.
