Abstract:Key Clinical MessageWhile there is no consensus on optimal treatment management for the rare condition of odontoid invagination with cervicothoracic scoliosis, skull traction for 12 weeks followed by combined posterior and anterior spinal fusion can be a feasible option. However, surgeons should be prepared for significant intraoperative and postoperative challenges.
