  • Title: [Clinical radiographic features of basilar impression (author's transl)].
    Author: Scotti G, Redaelli MR.
    Journal: Riv Patol Nerv Ment; 1978 Sep; 98(4):197-206. PubMed ID: 741171.
    Abstract:
    After a review of the literature and an analysis of the clinical and radiographic features of basilar impression (b.i.) the authors describe 27 personal cases. In 6 b.i. was present in its pure form and in 21 it was associated with other anomalies at the cranio-vertebral junction. Because of the frequent misdiagnosis with multiple sclerosis or other chronic neurologic diseases and because of the possible improvement of symptoms following decompressive occipital craniectomy and cervical laminectomy, the importance of a correct and complete radiographic study of the cranio-vertebral junction in these cases is stressed.
