Article Synopsis
- Primary spinal cord glioblastomas (GBMs) are rare but aggressive tumors that primarily affect young males, exhibiting distinct clinical characteristics compared to cranial GBMs.
- A systematic review analyzed data from 237 patients, revealing that most tumors occur in the cervical and thoracic spine, with motor deficits as the main symptom.
- Patients typically underwent surgery, with many receiving additional chemotherapy and radiotherapy; the average progression-free survival was 11.5 months and overall survival was 15.3 months, showing no significant differences based on sex or age.
Increase of the clivus-canal angle in patients with basilar invagination, without atlantoaxial displacement, treated with a simple maneuver of indirect decompression of the odontoid with the head clamp, during posterior occipitocervical arthrodesis.

Background: Basilar invagination (BI) can be defined as the insinuation of the content of the craniovertebral junction through the foramen magnum toward the posterior fossa. BI is a prevalent condition in Northeast Brazil. The present study describes the changes in the clivus-canal angle (CCA) in the postoperative period in patients with symptomatic BI operated by a posterior approach, using a simple technique of indirect reduction of the odontoid associated with occipitocervical fixation.
