Congenital C1 non union and subsequent injury/degeneration

[lizfromdarkplace]

37 yo, no trauma and prior imaging with no abnormalities. Had a CT for surgery of face and the CT showed my C1 has no anterior or posterior arch. Healed bones suggesting congenital. There is stenosis and spinal cord narrowing as well as MRI shows that a prior spinal cord injury occurred. C1 is subluxing on one side and dislocated on the other. MRI report also shows chronic complete tear. I am waiting on the second neurosurgeon (first one told me the entire hospital he works at doesn’t have a neurosurgeon that is equipped to handle my case). I’m not in a small town. So the neuro I was referred to is looking over my chart this weekend and I’m hoping to hear something Monday. BUT in the meantime, I am absolutely terrified of what I’m facing. I have all of my imaging linked to dicomlibrary and I will share the links to the MRI and CT below. Most importantly, what Dr can do what I need repair wise for a great outcome or will it be simple?? I’ve been sent to the ER by two different offices after seeing my imaging. Help!
