Occipital Cervical Junction Instability

Occipital Cervical Junction Instability

Instability in the atlanto-occipital joint results in hyper-mobility of the junction between the head and the neck, which can cause severe pain or paralysis. It may result from rheumatoid arthritis or congenital defects that can accelerate degenerative arthropathy, resulting in spinal cord compression.
