06 March 2016: Cranio vertebral junction is one of
the most important areas in the human being.
The anatomy and the embryological development of the region is very
complex. The region is the junction between the brain and the spinal cord. The
area can be affected by a variety of disorders and all these disorders will
have an impact on the brain and spinal cord.
Children and young adults are affected by these problems.
They have difficulty in walking and many of these unfortunate victims become
wheel chair or bed bound. As the condition worsens they also manifest
difficulty in breathing and ultimately succumb. Most commonly the C.V.Junction
problems arise due to congenital birth defects. Infections like tuberculosis
and road traffic accidents can also affect this region. Many children with
these problems succumb due to lack of awareness and lack of technology.
There have been a variety of surgical options to treat
these problems. Continuous innovations and refinements in the surgical
management have evolved in the last two decades. The state of art technology in
the treatment of these abnormalities will be highlighted in this workshop.
The aim of this continuing medical education programme is
to discuss in detail about the cranio vertebral junction problems and also the
surgical treatment. A live surgery is being done by eminent neurosurgeon from
Chandigarh, Dr.Pravin
Salunke. He is a senior faculty at the prestigious PGIMER
Chandigarh. He has special interest in this complex field and has done
extensive research in cranio vertebral junction anomalies. Around 100
neurosurgeons and spine surgeons from across the country are expected to
participate in this workshop.
Star institute of neurosciences has state of art
facilities in dealing with this sort of complex conditions.
