Abstract

Transoral odontoidectomy and ventral C1-2 stabilization are important surgical procedures, performed to decompress ventral spinal cord, and to stabilize craniovertebral junction. These procedures require knowledge regarding surgical anatomy of neurovascular structures ventral to the C1-2 complex. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationships between neurovascular structures and bony landmarks in ventral atlantoaxial complex.
