          Abstract

          A retrospective case-control study based on craniometrical evaluation was performed to evaluate the incidence of basilar invagination (BI). Patients with symptomatic tonsillar herniation treated surgically had craniometrical parameters evaluated based on CT scan reconstructions before surgery. BI was diagnosed when the tip of the odontoid trespassed the Chamberlain’s line in three different thresholds found in the literature: 2, 5 or 6.6 mm. In the surgical group (SU), the mean distance of the tip of the odontoid process above the Chamberlain’s line was 12 mm versus 1.2 mm in the control (CO) group (p<0.0001). The number of patients with BI according to the threshold used (2, 5 or 6.6 mm) in the SU group was respectively 19 (95%), 16 (80%) and 15 (75%) and in the CO group it was 15 (37%), 4 (10%) and 2 (5%).

          Realizamos estudo retrospectivo tipo caso-controle baseado na avaliação craniométrica para avaliar a incidência da Invaginação Basilar (IB). Pacientes com herniação tonsilar sintomática tratada cirurgicamente foram avaliados quanto a parâmetros craniométricos obtidos em reconstrução de TC antes da cirurgia. IB foi diagnosticada quando a ponta do odontóide passava acima da linha de Chamberlain em 2, 5 ou 6,6 mm. No grupo cirúrgico (CI), a distância média da ponta do odontóide acima da linha de Chamberlain foi de 12 mm versus 1,2 mm no grupo controle (CO) (p<0.0001). O número de pacientes com IB conforme o critério diagnóstico usado (2, 5 ou 6,6 mm) foi de 19 (95%), 16 (80%) e 15 (75%) no grupo CI, respectivamente, contra 15 (37%), 4 (10%) e 2 (5%) no grupo CO. Pacientes com herniação tonsilar tinham maior incidência de IB comparados ao grupo controle.
