The purpose of this paper was to review the literature on Bergmann's ossicle and provide an overview on its development, etiology, and clinical presentation while also differentiating it from similar structural anomalies.
A thorough review of the literature available on Bergmann's ossicle was performed.
Bergmann's ossicle, also referred to as ossiculum terminale persistens, was defined as a developmental anomaly of the odontoid process in which an ossification center that gives rise to the tip of the dens fails to fuse properly with the body of the axis.
Bergmann's ossicle is most often a benign condition, although it rarely may present with clinical symptoms such as neck pain and neurological signs. It may be associated with Down's syndrome and contribute to atlantoaxial instability.
本文旨在回顾关于贝格曼小骨的文献，并概述其发育、病因及临床表现，同时将其与类似的结构异常相鉴别。
对现有关于贝格曼小骨的文献进行全面回顾。
贝格曼小骨，也称为永存终末小骨，被定义为齿突的一种发育异常，即形成齿突尖的一个骨化中心未能与枢椎体正常融合。
贝格曼小骨通常为良性情况，尽管它很少会出现颈部疼痛和神经体征等临床症状。它可能与唐氏综合征相关，并导致寰枢椎不稳。
