Os odontoideum is an uncommon abnormality of the craniovertebral junction where the tip of the odontoid process lacks continuity with the body of C2. The clinical presentation is variable, but severe neurologic impairment can result.
We report the gross and radiologic findings of a cadaver found to harbor an os odontoideum.
To our knowledge, there are no cadaveric reports in the literature regarding an os odontoideum. Such a case allows a rare window into the anatomy and relationships of this pathologic structure.
齿突游离小骨是一种颅颈交界区的罕见异常，齿突尖与第二颈椎体缺乏连续性。临床表现多样，但可导致严重的神经功能损害。
我们报告了一具发现有齿突游离小骨的尸体的大体和影像学检查结果。
据我们所知，文献中尚无关于齿突游离小骨的尸体报告。这样一个病例为了解这种病理结构的解剖学和关系提供了一个难得的窗口。
