Secondary basilar invagination or basilar impression is an anomaly at the craniovertebral junction where the odontoid process prolapses into the foramen magnum with the risk of compressing adjacent structures and obstructing the proper flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The incidence is less than 1% in the general population and occurs mainly in the first three decades of life when it is associated with malformations of the neuroaxis. In older age, the main aetiologies are diseases that alter bone mineral density.

Article Synopsis
- An oral nutritional supplement (ONS) is often recommended for older patients with hip fractures, but many struggle with compliance; a new approach using an ice cream-based supplement called Nottingham-Ice Cream (N-ICE CREAM) is being tested.
- A study involving 50 inpatients aged 65 and older compared N-ICE CREAM to traditional milkshake ONS, focusing on compliance, acceptability, and patient preferences.
- Results indicated that two-thirds of participants preferred N-ICE CREAM, which showed higher compliance and acceptability ratings, suggesting it may be a better nutritional option for this demographic.
