Syringomyelia is a rare disorder in which a syrinx is formed in the spine that grows with time, causing damage to the entire spine. It is most commonly associated with type 1 Chiari malformations and has the potential to cause considerable impairment and a lower quality of life. It can be idiopathic or secondary to trauma.

This study assessed the relationship between head posture displacements and biomechanical parameters during gait and jumping. One hundred male and female students (20 ± 3 yrs) were assessed via the PostureScreen Mobile® app to quantify postural displacements of head rotations and translations including: (1) the cranio-vertebral angle (CVA) (°), (2) anterior head translation (AHT) (cm), (3) lateral head translation in the coronal plane (cm), and (4) lateral head side bending (°). Biomechanical parameters during gait and jumping were measured using the G-Walk sensor.

Basilar invagination (BI) and Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) are important anomalies involving the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) involving the skull base and occipitocervical region. The incidence of BI is rare involving < 1% of the general population worldwide. They present with varied and complex clinical-radiological features.

Background: Endoscopic endonasal odontoidectomy (EEO) has been described as a potential approach for craniovertebral junction (CVJ) disease which could cause anterior bulbomedullary compression and encroaching. Due to the atlantoaxial junction's uniqueness and complex biomechanics, treating CVJ pathologies uncovers the challenge of preventing C1-C2 instability. A large series of patients treated with endonasal odontoidectomy is reported, analyzing the feasibility and necessity of whether or not to perform posterior stabilization.
