The craniocervical junction (CSJ) is a hyperactive transition zone between the occipital bone and the spine (occiput-axis). Anatomically, it includes bone (foramen magnum, atlas, axis), ligaments, muscles and vascular structures. CSJ injuries often occur with high-energy traumas (falling from height, traffic accidents, etc.). However, severe cervical spine traumas may occur due to the presence of pre-existing spinal pathology such as osteoporosis, cervical stenosis, ankylosis, spondylosis and degenerative changes in relatively low-energy injuries in older patients. As a result, traumas to this region can disrupt the stability and cause a wide range of sensory and motor losses that will lead to irreversible results in the patient's clinic.
