A member asked:
How common is a retroflexed odontoid, and what are the symptoms? i had acdf c5-7 3 years ago and ever since i am having more pain.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retroflexed: Rare. Has your neurosurgeon confirmed this problem surgery may be required as it is a complex chiari defect. See http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/21822705.
