Computed Tomography–Based Normative Assessment of the Craniovertebral Junction in an Asymptomatic Rural Indian Population

Image
  Introduction The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is a highly specialized anatomical region that connects the skull base with the upper cervical spine. Owing to its unique biomechanical properties and close association with critical neural and vascular structures, even minor abnormalities in this region can result in significant neurological compromise. Accurate evaluation of the CVJ is therefore essential in neurosurgical practice. Despite its clinical importance, there remains a notable lack of population-specific normative data describing craniovertebral junction anatomy, particularly in asymptomatic individuals from rural regions of India. Most reference standards currently used in clinical practice are derived from Western populations and may not fully account for anatomical variability influenced by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors present in the Indian subcontinent. The study titled “ Study of Computed Tomography Evaluation of the Craniovertebral Junction in ...
