Abstract
The endoscopic endonasal corridor for odontoidectomy (EEO) is a valuable route in expert’s hand to manage craniovertebral junction (CVJ) pathologies of the midline. The possibility to preserve part of the C1 anterior arch along to an adequate preoperative planning, makes this option a viable choice especially in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities who cannot sustain a second procedure closed in time. Indeed, the current case shows the results of EEO in the presence of ventral compression due to degenerative non-rheumatoid retro-odontoid pannus in an 80-year-old male. Due to the absence of instability preoperatively and the C1 anterior arch preservation, no posterior instrumentation was planned nor was necessary at follow-up.
A step-by-step description of the technique is showed.
期刊介绍：
This International journal, Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, publishes articles on clinical neurosurgery and neurology and the related neurosciences such as neuro-pathology, neuro-radiology, neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-physiology.
The journal has a broad International perspective, and emphasises the advances occurring in Asia, the Pacific Rim region, Europe and North America. The Journal acts as a focus for publication of major clinical and laboratory research, as well as publishing solicited manuscripts on specific subjects from experts, case reports and other information of interest to clinicians working in the clinical neurosciences.
