Anatomical Characteristics of Cervicomedullary Compression on MRI Scans in Children with Achondroplasia by Isabella Trautwein, Daniel Behme, Philip Kunkel, Jasper Gerdes, Klaus Mohnike

“…The tentorial angle was also steeper in children with achondroplasia (mean 47.6 vs. 38.1 degrees; <i>p</i> < 0.001), while the clivus was significantly shorter (mean 23.5 vs. 30.3 mm; <i>p</i> < 0.001). Significant differences were also observed in myelon area, occipital angle, fourth ventricle, intracranial cerebrospinal fluid and supratentorial ventricular volumes, and the volume of brainstem protruding beyond the posterior fossa (all <i>p</i> < 0.05). …”
