Clinical relevance of radiological abnormalities of the craniovertebral junction.
Clinical review of a large series of lesions of the craniovertebral angle revealed that no abnormality could be shown by radiological means in 30-50% of cases. Conversely, 30-50% of radiologically demonstrable skeletal disorders at the craniovertebral angle were asymptomatic.
