  • Title: [Os odontoideum].
    Author: Dai L, Jia L.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1996 Jun; 34(6):323-6. PubMed ID: 9594168.
    Abstract:
    Seventeen patients who had os odontoideum were reviewed. Among them occipito-cervical fusion was performed upon 12 patients with atlanto-axial instability. All of them achieved fusion. The patients were followed up for 2 to 16 years and satisfactory results were demonstrated. We consider that surgical treatment is indicated when os odontoideum is combined with atlanto-axial instability.
