A Universal Craniometric Index for Establishing the Diagnosis of Basilar Invagination

Objective The conventional criteria for defining the basilar invagination (BI) focus on the relationship of odontoid tip to basion and opisthion, landmarks that are intrinsically variable especially in presence of occipitalised atlas. A universal single reference line is proposed that helps in unequ...
