Clinical and Radiological Features of Atlantoaxial Dislocations Associated With Congenital Malformations of the Craniovertebral Junction

We present a literature review devoted to the study of a craniovertebral malformation such as the os odontoideum of C2 vertebra. This is a rare anomaly that often results in atlantoaxial instability and, as a consequence, a wide range of clinical manifestations. The review is analytic and was conducted using medical literature databases and search resources, namely, PubMed (MEDLINE), Google Scholar, and eLibrary. The review focused on the definition of os odontoideum and its epidemiology, including the structure of craniovertebral junction pathologies. Features of the embryonic development of the craniovertebral junction, which are important in terms of the notion of the theories of the origin of os odontoideum, are described. The anatomical variants of the os odontoideum are presented, and a wide range of clinical manifestations of this pathological condition and approaches to its diagnosis are described.

The article aims to summarize modern ideas about the etiology and pathogenesis of cervical pain syndromes. It presents the latest data on the frequency of occurrence of various pain syndromes, and modern aspects of the etiopathogenesis of cervical pain syndrome. Three main types of pain are considered in detail, depending on the leading pathogenetic mechanism, which can be nociceptive, neuropathic, and dysfunctional.
