Core Tip	This study shows the importance of the dynamic image in patients with congenital craniover-tebral junction anomalies. A total of ten patients with a mean age of 37.9 years were included. We could demonstrate that 40% of the patients had facetary subluxation demonstrated in dynamic imaging and two of them required surgery for craniovertebral junction due to instability. This study reported the importance of routine dynamic imaging evaluation in patients with craniovertebral junction anomalies even without evidence of instability in static computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging.
