TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - The spectrum of traumatic injuries at the craniocervical junction: a review of imaging findings and management JO - Emergency radiology A1 - Siddiqui, Juveria A1 - Grover, Patrick J. A1 - Makalanda, Hegoda Levansri A1 - Campion, Thomas A1 - Bull, Jonathan A1 - Adams, Ashok SP - 377 EP - 385 VL - 24 IS - 4 N2 - The craniocervical junction is an area with unique biomechanical properties and injuries conferred often represent high-impact trauma. The vital structures traversing this region are susceptible to injury with frequent, only subtle findings identified on unenhanced CT, with MRI and CT angiography often revealing the full extent of injuries. This article reviews the osseous and ligamentous anatomy of the region and common injury patterns. Endovascular and neurosurgical management will also be discussed.
