Background: Common calvarial lesions include fibrous dysplasia (FD), intraosseous meningioma, osteoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), intraosseous hemangioma, dermoid and epidermoid cyst, and malignancy. Surgical removal with removal of the involved skull is the choice of treatment for these lesions. Previously, the skull defect was repaired using allograft, and alloplastic materials have been replaced with newer polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material, which is more resistant, biocompatible, and can be 3-dimension (3D)--printed.

Certainly, timely tissue diagnosis, immobilization of the neck, and decompression of CVJ with appropriate stabilization are the mainstays of treatment for TB at the CVJ.
Case Description: Three patients, ages 16-68, presented with CVJ TB with atlanto-axial dislocation responsible for progressive quadriparesis/plegia.
Article Synopsis
- Traumatic subluxation of C2-C3 with Atlanto-Axial dislocation is a rare condition with limited management options, as few cases have been reported.
- A 45-year-old male laborer experienced significant neck pain and neurological deficits following falls, leading to the discovery of his condition via imaging.
- Surgical intervention using a posterior approach allowed successful reduction and stabilization, resulting in significant improvement, with one-year follow-up showing proper alignment and fusion of the affected vertebrae.
