Background: Congenital craniovertebral junction anomalies (CCVJAs) encompass a diverse range of conditions characterized by distorted anatomy and significant variation in the pathways of neurovascular structures. This study aims to assess the safety and feasibility of tailoring posterior fixation for CCVJAs through intraoperative CT-based navigation.
Methods: An in-depth retrospective analysis was conducted on eight patients diagnosed with CCVJAs (excluding Arnold-Chiari malformation).
: Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas remain a significant concern in spinal neurosurgery, particularly following dural closure. The incidence of dural tears during spinal surgery is estimated between 1.6% and 10%.

Comprehensive AMP assessments, including those comprising semisynthetic, and modified natural compositions, are lacking. For instance, the accumulation of AMP in different coastal morphological features within a depositional system remains poorly known, fueling long-lasting debates about the distribution process of microparticles.

- - The development of neurosurgical guidelines has grown increasingly complex, posing challenges in their application due to varying methodologies and limited high-quality evidence.
- - This mini review focuses on guidelines published since 1996, emphasizing the reliance on a few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the lag in timely updates, which complicates their relevance in clinical practice.
- - To improve global applicability, especially in low- and middle-income countries, there's a call for increased inclusivity in guideline authorship and consideration of alternatives like consensus conferences for addressing these challenges.
