Craniocervical instability (CCI) is a medical condition characterized by excessive movement of the vertebra at the atlanto-occipital joint and the atlanto-axial joint located between the skull and the top two vertebra, known as C1 and C2.
Cranial Cervical Instability (CCI) is a medical condition where the strong ligaments that hold your head to your upper neck are loose or lax. The 7 criteria used in diagnosing craniocervical instability include the mechanism of injury, symptoms, findings on physical examination, radiographic studies, response to conservative care and diagnostic ...
Early diagnosis and treatment of craniocervical junction disorders can often reverse symptoms or prevent permanent disability. Advanced imaging and treatment options are used to diagnose and manage craniocervical disorders. Diagnostic Testing.
Cranial Cervical Instability, also known as CCI, is a medical condition that occurs when the ligaments and connective tissues that support the head and neck become weakened or damaged.
Craniocervical instability (CCI) refers to excessive movement at the junction between the skull and cervical spine, caused by ligamentous laxity or damage. Individuals with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) are predisposed to CCI due to ligamentous laxity.
Cranio-cervical instability--alternately punctuated as craniocervical instability, abbreviated as CCI, and known as occipitoatlantialaxial hypermobility--is a disorder of the head (cranio-) and the upper vertebra (back bones) of the spine closest to the head.
If the brainstem and/or spinal cord gets affected by cervical misalignment and instability in the cervical spine, patients tend to get many debilitating symptoms, such as dizziness, vertigo, swaying, tinnitus, sensitivity to loud sounds, vision changes, and seizures.
Cranial Cervical Instability (CCI) is a medical condition where the strong ligaments that hold your head to your upper neck are loose or lax (1). The major ligaments involved are the Alar, Transverse and Accessory ligaments.
Craniocervical Instability is a dynamic problem in the cervical spine, which can only be diagnosed properly by dynamic imaging procedures such as upright MRI with flexion, extension and rotation views, and Digital Motion X-ray. Unfortunately there is a lack of options to diagnose CCI.
Craniocervical instability (CCI) refers to a condition characterized by excessive movement or instability between the skull (cranium) and the uppermost part of the spine (cervical spine). It involves the articulation between the occipital bone at the base of the skull and the first cervical vertebra, known as the atlas or C1 vertebra.
