The authors present the case of a 16-year-old boy affected by HCS. On initial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, a severe basilar invagination with Chiari malformation and cervicothoracic syringomyelia was documented.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In most cases, subluxation less than this is asymptomatic. Lateral x-rays taken in extension and flexion are used to demonstrate AAS.[dizziness-and-balance.com]
Patients may be asymptomatic or complain of headaches, neck pain, cough, trigeminal neuralgia, limb weakness, altered muscle reflexes, quadriparesis, nystagmus, and ataxia.[rrnursingschool.biz]
As an isolated finding, platybasia is not clinically important, and most patients are asymptomatic ( 13 ). When the basal angle is measured on lateral skull images, accurate X-ray techniques are essential for correct angles.[ajnr.org]
Although asymptomatic patients are often followed conservatively, many authors favor surgery even if no symptoms of cord compression are evident in rheumatoid patients.[neuroradiologyonthenet.blogspot.com]
Therapy Surgical therapy Asymptomatic patients who are diagnosed of Chiari type I malformation without syringomyelia should not be considered as candidates for surgery.[bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]

These abnormalities can result in neckpain; syringomyelia; cerebellar, lower cranial nerve, and spinal cord deficits; and vertebrobasilar ischemia. Diagnosis is by MRI or CT.[merckmanuals.com]
This can compress your spinal cord, causing neckpain, headache, balance problems, and even paralysis. While this condition may be congenital and the cause is unknown, people with Down syndrome have a higher risk for developing os odontoideum.[spineuniverse.com]
Neckpain is frequent and characterized by the absence of radicular distribution. It is associated to continuous, burning, deep-seated discomfort in the shoulders, nape, chest, and upper limbs. Neckpain usually increases with Valsalva manoeuvres.[bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]

Klippel-Feil syndrome type II is massive fusion of two of seven cervical vertebrae associated with shortneck and low hair line.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A shortneck, craniofacial asymmetry, and kyphoscoliosis are common associated features. The foramen magnum is often deformed to varying extents.[rrnursingschool.biz]
A shortneck and flat skull base are often visible on inspection. Hypernasal speech, i.e. velopharyngeal insufficiency, with or without palatal clefts is an occasional clue. The neurologicalsigns [ 11 ] are notably variable.[karger.com]
This is attributed to a shortneck, large tongue, prominent occiput, fragile mandible & cervical spine and predisposition to mucosal bruising and broken teeth.[ispub.com]
These include shortneck, torticollis, platybasia, cervical vertebral body fusion (Klippel-Feil abnormality) including assimilation of atlas, spondylotic spinal changes, and restriction of neck movements.[jcvjs.com]
Lhermitte'ssign (a tingling on neck movement, flexion in this case) can be demonstrated at any stage. A plain lateral x-ray, with odontoid views, is a good place to start, but is not 100% sensitive (Riew, Hilibrand et al. 2001).[dizziness-and-balance.com]
Tingling down the back, often into the legs, with neck flexion (Lhermittesign) may occur. Uncommonly, pain and temperature senses (spinothalamic tract function) are impaired in a stocking-glove pattern.[merckmanuals.com]
According to Sawin and Menezes series in persons with osteogenesis imperfecta (1997), symptoms and signs included headache (76%), lower cranial nerve dysfunction (68%), hyperreflexia (56%), quadriparesis (48%), ataxia (32%), nystagmus (28%), and scoliosis[dizziness-and-balance.com]
Spasticquadriplegia can result from platybasia. Basilar invagination or compression of posterior fossa structures may lead to cerebellar or brainstem compressive syndromes.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Cranial nerves and pyramidaltractsigns were demonstrated. Roentgenograms showed severe basilar impression and hydrocephalus. Decompression of the brainstem and shunting were performed with improvement in the patient's neurological status.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Subsequent refinement of radiology facilitated diagnosis and the later advent of surgical treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment: Unless there is impingement or compression of nerve roots or other neural tissue, no treatment is specifically indicated for platybasia; however, neural compression requires optimal treatment.[neurosurgery.ucla.edu]
Early recognition and implementation of aggressive treatment are important if irreversible neurological deficits are to be avoided.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
