Study Design: This was a retrospective study.
Purpose: The current study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of atlantodentoplasty using the anterior retropharyngeal approach against irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation with atlantodental bony obstruction.
Overview Of Literature: In cases of atlantoaxial dislocation with atlantodental bony obstruction, owing to the presence of an osteogenic mass between the atlas and odontoid process, reduction is challenging to complete using the posterior approach.

Kenny-Caffey syndrome 2 (KCS2) is a rare cause of hypoparathyroidism, inherited in an autosomal dominant mode, resulting from pathogenic variants of the gene, which is implicated in intracellular pathways regulating parathormone (PTH) synthesis and skeletal and parathyroid gland development. : The case of a boy is reported, presenting with the characteristic and newly identified clinical, biochemical, radiological, and genetic abnormalities of KCS2. : The proband had noticeable dysmorphic features, and the closure of the anterior fontanel was delayed until the age of 4 years.

Background: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and developmental venous anomaly (DVA) rarely coexist. Developing a surgical strategy to treat this co-occurrence is difficult due to the unclear pathogenesis. We report the use of super-selective digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and Three-dimensional (3D) rotational digital subtraction venography (DSV) to develop a surgical strategy for complex AVM draining into a DVA.
