  1. Diagnosis 1 means “C1-2 instability or dislocation without bony anomaly and without BI; Diagnosis 2 means “C1-2 instability or dislocation with assimilation of the atlas and/or congenital C2-3 unsegmentation with BI”; Diagnosis 3 means “lateral mass column collapsed due to rheumatoid arthritis, which lead to the secondary BI”
