Mixed reality CT/MRI visualization aids surgical planning and patient counseling in complex craniovertebral junction anomaly case

In a case report, mixed reality (MR) visualization of CT and MRI data facilitated surgical planning and patient education for a complex craniovertebral junction anomaly. The patient, wheelchair-bound preop, had full neurological recovery (modified JOA score 18/18) 1 year after C…

• Preoperative mJOA score was 9/18; at 1 year postop, the patient scored 18/18 and could ambulate independently.
• MR improved understanding of asymmetric C1-C2 facets and screw trajectories during surgical planning.
