Congenital and developmental malformations, genetic anomalies, degenerative diseases, infections and neoplasms may involve the CVJ, disrupting its functions and giving rise to clinical manifestations. A classification can be made according to the cause of CVJ involvement. Understanding anatomical and radiological features of the region is crucial for evaluating the structure and anomalies.
