Retro-Odontoid Pseudotumor in Atlantoaxial Instability: Insights Into Presence, Subtypes, and Postoperative Regression
This study demonstrates that ROP-positive AAI patients exhibit distinct radiological characteristics, with reduced cervical mobility. Furthermore, cystic ROP shows delayed regression following posterior fusion. These findings underscore the importance of ROP subtypes in surgical planning, requiring closer monitoring and possibly earlier intervention.
