title: [Pathology of the craniocervical junction as shown by magnetic resonance tomography. 68 cases].
abstract: In cases of a suspected lesion at the level of the cranio-cervical junction, MR should be considered as the imaging technique of choice. Tumours, inflammation and degenerative processes can be reliably demonstrated and diagnosed. Administration of contrast media, for example, gadolinium-DTPA, is necessary in selected cases only. Comparing "examination time" of x-ray myelography and high resolution x-ray CT with MR, one can well tolerate the long "acquisition" of MR images.
