C1 Posterior Arch Flare Point: A Useful Landmark for Fluoroscopically Guided C1-2 Puncture [SPINE]

CONCLUSIONS:
The C1 posterior arch flare point accurately approximates the dorsal spinal cord margin on myelography. Targeting between the flare point and the spinolaminar line, at the mid-C1–2 interspace, allows safe and optimal needle positioning.
