Craniocervical instability can be particularly disabling for some individuals. Surgical fusion of the unstable vertebrae has been suggested as a treatment for the symptoms that are often seen in these patients.
Dr. Henderson and Dr. Schubart describe a retrospective outcomes study of patients who underwent craniocervical fusion who had a diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or some clinical hypermobility with radiological evidence, severe head/neck pain, symptoms of cervical medullary syndrome, neurological deficits, and for whom all non-operative treatment had previously failed. The results were promising that there may be benefit to fusion surgery in this smaller patient population.
