Diagnosis of Os odontoideum using kinematic magnetic resonance imaging. A case report.
Spine 1999 April 2
STUDY DESIGN: A case of os odontoideum diagnosed using kinematic magnetic resonance imaging is presented.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the kinematic magnetic resonance imaging findings of os odontoideum and the possible use these findings might have to guide treatment.
BACKGROUND: Kinematic magnetic resonance imaging is a new imaging modality that is able to produce realtime images of a structure through a range of motion. This makes it well suited for investigating dynamic processes such as cervical instability.
METHODS: A single subject with known os odontoideum was examined using a Sigma SPR Kinematic Magnetic Resonance Imager (General Electric, Florence, SC).
RESULTS: Kinematic magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated cervical spinal cord impingement and cervical instability throughout flexion and extension, but not during lateral bending or rotation.
CONCLUSIONS: Kinematic magnetic resonance imaging can evaluate the cervical spine in an axially loaded position throughout its range of motion. This modality may be a useful method for diagnosing and classifying abnormalities of the spine.
