| الوصف: | The joints in the region of the cranio-vertebral junction have been estimated to be involved radiologically in 19–36% of patients with chronic, deforming rheumatoid arthritis (Sharp & Purser, 1961; Stevens et al, 1971; Matthews, 1974). Eulderink and Meders (1975) reported that pathological evidence of involvement of the cervical spine was found in 59% of 44 cases at autopsy, and in over 70% of these the joints of the cranio-vertebral junction were affected. Existing literature emphasises the clinical significance of subluxation rather than of associated granulation tissue. Nevertheless, it has been shown on computed myelo-cisternography that pannus is frequently the dominant factor responsible for the actual configuration of compressive deformity of the spinal cord near the foramen magnum (Stevens et al, 1986), though the clinical importance of this observation has been denied by others (Laasonen et al, 1985). This is a report of a case which showed two distinctly unusual features: a huge intracranial mas... |
