  • Title: Endoscopic endonasal approach for resection of odontoid process, decompression of the cervicomedullary junction spinal cord, and resection of pannus.

    Abstract:
    Odontoid pannus is an abnormal collection of degenerative or inflammatory tissue on the C1-dens joint that can result in severe spinal cord compression myelopathy. Treatment options vary depending on severity and etiology. In cases of severe cord compression, surgical management could be either through a purely posterior approach or in combination with an anterior decompression via endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). This case presents a 77-year-old female who underwent posterior cervical fixation for odontoid pannus causing dramatic cervical myelopathy who failed to improve over a 6-month period and required anterior transodontoid pannus resection and decompression via EEA.
