Most authorities favor the hypothesis of an acquired etiology of os odontoideum. We present the cases of identical twin sisters with os odontoideum in association with a congenital partial fusion of the posterior elements of the second and third cervical vertebrae, and discuss the implications. We believe that this is the first report of familial os odontoideum in a context which suggests a genetic etiology.
大多数权威人士支持齿突骨后天病因的假说。我们报告了一对同卵双胞胎姐妹患有齿突骨并伴有第二和第三颈椎后部结构先天性部分融合的病例,并讨论了其意义。我们认为这是在提示遗传病因背景下家族性齿突骨的首例报告。
