The congenital midline non-union of the posterior arch of the atlas is a developmental variant present at a frequency ranging from 0.7% to 3.9%.
This developmental variant manifests as narrowing of the anteroposterior dimension of the spinal canal to less than 10 mm or thecal sac cross-sectional area less than 77 ± 13 mm² [39].
While there is some evidence that this developmental variant is more prevalent in individuals with epilepsy (Gamss et al., 2009), others have argued that this variant can be observed in as high as 18% of the non-epileptic population and is therefore not an etiological factor in epilepsy (Bajic et al., 2009).
