Stretching of the nerves in the brain caused by compression around the cranio-cervical junction can cause a host of different symptoms and problems. Some stretching of the nerves may even alter gene expression. This stretch is often brought on by different disorders that cause cranio-cervical instability.

Dr. Henderson makes the case, therefore, that instability is something that must be considered in differential diagnoses when assessing patients with conditions at the level of the cranio-cervical junction. This is especially for patients who struggle with disorders that may require neurosurgical treatment, as successful surgery may require proper assessment of stability issues.

This lecture was presented at the 2019 London Roundtable, provided in partnership with the Ehlers-Danlos Society, discussing issues including dysautonomia, connective tissue disorders, Chiari malformation and related syndromes. (2019)
