Classifications
Odontoid Fracture Classification
Type 1: Fracture of upper part. Rare and potentially unstable.
Type 2: Fracture at the base of odontoid. Unstable and high risk of non-union.
Type 3: Through the odontoid and into lateral masses of C2. Best prognosis for healing.
Spina Bifida Occulta
- mildest form
- incomplete formation of posterior arch of spinal column
- seen in LS spine. Typically S1
- fatty deposit, hemangioma or tuft of hair
