Title: | Retro-Odontoid Pseudotumor in a Patient with Atlanto-Occipital Assimilation | Authors: | Buttiens, Arvy VANDEVENNE, Jan VAN CAUTER, Sofie |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Publisher: | UBIQUITY PRESS LTD | Source: | JOURNAL OF THE BELGIAN SOCIETY OF RADIOLOGY, 102(1) | Abstract: | A retro-odontoid pseudotumor is an uncommon non-neoplastic mass. They are mostly associated with rheumatoid arthritis and atlanto-axial subluxation. The pathogenesis is degeneration of the transverse ligament due to chronic mechanical stress. In this case report, an atlanto-occipital assimilation altered the biomechanics of the cervical spine, causing chronic mechanical stress on the transverse ligament and subsequently the development of a retro-odontoid pseudotumor. This is in accordance with previous studies that have attributed the development of retro-odontoid pseudotumor to a loss of mobility of the cervical spine, in cases without associated rheumatoid arthritis or atlanto-axial subluxation. | Notes: | [Buttiens, Arvy; Vandevenne, Jan; Van Cauter, Sofie] Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg, Genk, Belgium.
