Abstract
Endoscopic endonasal odontoidectomy offers a safe and effective method for anterior decompression of basilar invagination. Preoperative assessment for existing posterior fusion, absence of posterior compression, and preservation of the anterior C1 ring during operative decompression help stratify the need for lone anterior approach versus a combined anterior and posterior treatment.
