- Abstract
Goel et al. has suggested C1-C2 fixation as a treatment modality in patients with Chiari malformation type 1 and has shown good clinical improvement in his patients.[[6]] Hence, we decided to perform C1-C2 fusion in our patient. There is only one case report in the English literature documenting the association of Chiari malformation with C2 spondylolysis.[[4]] The patient also had atlanto axial instability with inverted vertebral arteries on either side. To summarise, congenital C2 spondylolysis with Chiari malformation is a rare entity.
