Title: MRI Features and Clinical Diagnosis of the Malformation of Craniocervical Juncture Region
Abstract: Objective:To investigate the relationship between the classification of MRI and clinical representation of the malformation of craniocervical juncture region.Methods:The clinical data of the 23 cases of malformation of craniocervical juncture region and the results of MRI were correlated and analyzed retrospectively.Results:The clinical representation of 23 patients:① Brain stem and superior spinal cord were compressed.② Cerebellum lesions.③ Posterior cranical nerves and upper spinal nerves lesions.④ Lesions around the canalis centralis of the spinal cord.⑤ Outward appearance malformation of the head and neck. All cases showed 3 compression types of imaging features:ventral compression (7 cases);dorsal compression (12 cases) and mixed compression (4 cases).Conclusion:Different compression types of MRI features are correlated with clinical symptom in the malformation of craniocervical juncture region and MRI classification may be helpful for clinical treatment.
