Acquired anomalies of the craniovertebral junction although rare, may result in serious clinical sequella. The prevalence of craniovertebral anomalies remains unknown since they may remain clinically silent. Os odontoideum is one such anomaly. The etiology remains controversial over whether it is a post-traumatic or congenital condition but the clinical considerations of os odontoideum remain the same. Chiropractors may encounter os odontoideum in the subclinical patient with the potential for deleterious effects with manipulation. Radiography is essential to its detection.
颅颈交界区的后天性异常虽然罕见，但可能导致严重的临床后遗症。颅颈交界区异常的患病率仍然未知，因为它们可能在临床上没有症状。齿突缺如是其中一种异常。其病因是创伤后还是先天性疾病仍存在争议，但齿突缺如的临床考量是相同的。整脊师可能会在亚临床患者中遇到齿突缺如，手法治疗有产生有害影响的可能性。X线摄影对其检测至关重要。
