Description

 In this episode of CCI Deep Dive, Dr. Centeno unpacks the anatomy and meaning of a retroflexed dens—a common but often misunderstood MRI finding at the top of the neck. Learn why this structural variation is usually harmless, how it can become problematic when paired with craniocervical instability, and how advanced nonsurgical treatments like the PICL and ePIC procedures use your body’s own cells to restore stability. A clear, practical breakdown for anyone navigating complex CCI reports or treatment options.
