Hello my Saviors :0 :)

I couldn’t open your imaging so can’t add anything, but just to say the vertebral artery runs through the transverse processes, so there’s a limit to how much can be shaved. Depending on the doctor you see, they often check that the IJV is decompressed enough for good flow before finishing the surgery.

“I’ve already made up my mind: I’m going to have the entire left C1 transverse process removed. The vertebral artery should be fully opened/decompressed. Even if cervical instability results, I have no choice—I need this to survive. The issue now is finding a surgeon who can do it.”
Just like m uk’s case is m uk removed entire trasverse process?

@TML hasn’t been on recently as he’s recovering from his surgery, so you might not get a response…
I don’t know enough to comment on what it could be.

I am in the same situation as @Jules. I’m not sure what that spot is. If you use AI technology, you could load your image into one of the AI sites & ask if AI can identify it.
