External occipital protuberance classification with special reference to spine type and its clinical implications.
Singal A, Chaudhary P, Singh P. Singal A, et al. Surg Radiol Anat. 2023 May;45(5):555-561. doi: 10.1007/s00276-023-03133-8. Epub 2023 Mar 22. Surg Radiol Anat. 2023. PMID: 36947178
In Type III EOP cases, the size of EOP was noticed using different modalities and compared. The superior nuchal lines and external occipital crest were observed for their prominence and any variation. RESULTS: 42% of the skulls belong to Type 1, 51.5% to Type …
