Abstract

The height of the odontoid process is discussed with respect to the anterior arch of the atlas. Three situations are considered, viz. the normal odontoid process, the hypoplastic odontoid process, a minor form of dens aplasia showing a predisposition to luxation, and the hypertrophic odontoid process, which occurs in two forms, depending on whether it lies above the basilar line of below it.
