“Notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal,” the justices wrote, “surely does not pass muster.

Atalanto-occipital dislocations with type II fractures of the odontoid process are rare, reporting 7 cases for every 784 upper cervical spine injuries, an incidence of <0.3% and are related to a high ...

The results of rotation simulation show that the maximum stresses were located in the posterior arch of C1, odontoid process of C2 and spinous process of C2 and C3 which are consistent with the ...

A cervical x-ray showed no abnormalities. However, a cervical computed tomography scan revealed calcification surrounding the odontoid process, which was consistent with crowned dens syndrome, they ...

On the anteroposterior projection the odontoid process was somewhat closer to the left lateral mass of the 1st cervical vertebra than to the right. Neurologic findings at that time were identical ...

The surgery, a first in the region, repaired the odontoid process, a bony protrusion on the second cervical vertebra. Cai Siyi, a doctor from Peking Union Medical College Hospital working as an ...

The Dent-landmark, defined as the odontoid process of the epistropheus, is one of the key landmarks to construct the midsagittal reference plane. In this paper, we propose a learning-based approach to ...

9,36,37 The proximate causes of ventral compression include basilar invagination (superior translation of the top of the C2 vertebra into the foramen magnum), a retroflexed odontoid process ...

ABSTRACT: Odontoid fracture accounts for 15%-20% of all cervical spine injuries. Among the odontoid fracture, type-2 fractureisthe most common variety. This injury is associated with a high incidence ...

Cervical level two is called the axis, and has a large bony protrusion called the dens or odontoid process. This bony odontoid process passes up through the ring-like atlas vertebrae and forms the ...
