Operative nuances to safeguard anomalous vertebral artery without compromising the surgery for congenital atlantoaxial dislocation: untying a tough knot between vessel and bone
TL;DR: Preoperative 3D CT angiography is a highly useful method of imaging the artery in patients with CVJ anomaly and helps in identifying the anomalous VA or its branch and its relationship to the C1-2 facets.

Pravin Salunke,Sukumar Sura,Sameer Futane,Ashish Aggarwal,Niranjan Khandelwal,Rajesh Chhabra,Kanchan K Mukherjee,Sunil Gupta +7 more
TL;DR: VCMC in adult patients with Chiari I malformation in the absence of BI and/or AAD is due to periodontoid tissue (crown) or retroverted dens and transoral decompression with posterior fusion may be required in a small subset of patients who fail to improve or worsen following posterior decompression only.

'Pseudofacets' or 'supernumerary facets' in congenital atlanto-axial dislocation: boon or bane?
Pravin Salunke,Sameer Futane,Manish Sharma,Sushant Sahoo,Udaybhanu kovilapu,Niranjan Khandelwal +5 more
TL;DR: Pseudofacets may be a result of genetic aberration and nature's mechanism to restrict abnormal C1–2 mobility in CAAD by imparting some stability and provide an increased area for postoperative bony fusion between C1 and 2, making their presence a ‘boon’.
