C3-C4 (Figure 1). Computerized tomography of the cervical spine confirmed the diagnosis along with occipitalization and assimilation of the atlas and absent ossifications centers of the upper cervical spine (Figures 2 and 3).
CT of cervical spine: occipitalization/assimilation of the atlas with severe kyphoscoliosis of the upper cervical spine, resulting in severe spinal canal stenosis with spinal cord compression. Incomplete/absent ossification centers of the upper cervical spine.
