Incidence of basioccipital hypoplasia in Chiari malformation type I: comparative morphometric study of the posterior cranial fossa. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: The chronic tonsillar herniation defining Chiari malformation Type I (CMI) is thought to result from overcrowding of a normally developing hindbrain within a congenitally small posterior cranial fossa (PCF) due to occipital hypoplasia. The ... Read more...

A combined posterior, lateral, and anterior approach to ventrolaterally situated chordoma of the upper cervical spine.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Lesions ventral and ventrolateral to the neuraxis at the CCJ can pose a significant management problem owing to their strategic location. Conventional direct posterior approaches sometimes may not allow adequate visualization of the ... Read more...

Pus and free bone flaps.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: The goal of this investigation is to describe the results of a vigorous attempt to preserve contaminated free bone flaps and avoid the problems associated with the traditional and common practice of discarding the flap, administering a ... Read more...
