Cervical spinal stenosis most commonly occurs at the subaxial spine. C1-C2 stenosis is relatively unusual but can be present in certain congenital or syndromic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. In this manuscript, we highlight the case of a 42-year-old lady who presented with neck pain and signs of high cervical myelopathy.

Article Synopsis
  • A multicenter cohort study was conducted to investigate the long-term prevalence and worsening of cervical spine instabilities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), involving 634 outpatients, with 233 followed for over 10 years.
  • Cervical spine instability was assessed through specific measurements, with findings indicating that both vertical and subaxial subluxation increased significantly over time.
  • Key predictors for worsening conditions included advanced joint damage, prolonged duration of RA, elevated C-reactive protein levels, and past joint surgery, highlighting the importance of managing disease activity to prevent further complications.

Article Synopsis
  • Occipitocervical arthrodesis is a surgical procedure used to treat serious neck issues that regular cervical fusion can't fix, and its significance has changed over time due to new techniques and technologies.
  • A bibliometric analysis of literature on occipitocervical fusion was conducted, revealing trends in publications, citations, and topics of interest, highlighting the increase in studies related to Ehlers Danlos syndrome and ongoing concerns regarding dysphagia.
  • Key findings indicated that the number of relevant publications peaked in 2020 but has since declined, with the USA, China, and Japan being the leading contributors to the research in this field.

Atlantoaxial instability is the most common cervical instability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its course may differ in different patients and may have different degrees of severity and symptoms. There are a number of studies on systemic factors associated with the development of this instability, but there are few publications in the scientific literature on the influence of biomechanical factors on the development of cervical instability.
