Chiari malformation (CM) is characterized by a downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. This tonsillar herniation may sometimes be accompanied by syringomyelia and/or basilar invagination (BI). In this study, we examined the surgical outcomes of patients by underwent C1-2 reduction + fixation (C1-2RF), which is a new method defined by Goel, in the literature.

Correlation and Differences in Lumbopelvic Sagittal Alignment Parameters Between Lumbar Radiographs and Magnetic Resonance Images

Chongqing Xu, DO, MD1,  Mengchen Yin, DO, MD1, Wen Mo, DO, MD1

doi : 10.1177/2192568220947049

Volume: 12 issue: 1, page(s): 79-84

Though lumbar alignment is better evaluated using standing radiograph than supine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), few studies have researched this. Our study aimed to observe the correlation and difference in alignment between standing radiograph and supine MRI, and assess whether the change of position affects the lumbopelvic parameters.
