[Tumors of the craniocervical junction. II. Morphological and radiological aspects with special reference to CT and MRT].
Tumours of the craniocervical junction (ccjct) vary considerably in respect of survival times and cure rates. Correct localisation and tissue diagnosis are decisive for selecting the most suitable treatment. To do so one must be familiar not only with the clinical symptoms but also with the imaging features and the possible differential diagnoses of the individual tumour. In a second part of this overview we present the morphological and imaging features of the tumours occurring at the ccjct, and discuss in addition their epidemiological aspects.
