Abstract:
:Articular cysts of the atlantoaxial joint are infrequently described and probably an underreported cause of upper cervical spinal cord compression. The authors report on two patients with cysts located posteriorly of the dens in whom a C-1 and partial C-2 hemilaminectomy with subtotal resection of the cyst provided adequate and stable decompression 1 year postoperatively. The clinical and magnetic resonance imaging features and the surgical approach are discussed after a review of the literature.
