A member asked:
What does it mean if c1-c2 are incidentally found to be fused on imaging? what is the significance of this finding?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
This type of fusion in cervical vertebrae is reported in ~4/1000 people. By itself it is an interesting anomaly. It may or may not be associated with other problems in your future. Please discuss this with your doc who can monitor you for any related symptoms if they arise.

This finding on its own is usually an incidental congenital anomaly of no pathological implication.
