The distance between the atlas and the occipital condyles, the atlanto-occipital interval (AOI), should measure less than 4 mm, and is better assessed on coronal images.

Conservative treatment of craniocervical instability includes physical therapy [10] [11] and the use of a cervical collar to keep the neck stable.

The remainder of this article focuses upon ...
The posterior atlantooccipital membrane (posterior atlantooccipital ligament) is a broad but thin membrane [1] [2]: 99 extending between the posterior margin of the foramen magnum above, and posterior arch of atlas (first cervical vertebra) below. It forms the floor of the suboccipital triangle.
