To evaluate the feasibility of a novel method for occipitocervical fixation (OCF) through the endonasal corridor. ⋯ Endonasal OCF is technically and anatomically feasible. The application of this technique may allow for same-stage endonasal decompression and fixation, offering a minimally invasive alternative to current methods of fixation and advancing surgeons' ability to treat pathology of the craniovertebral junction. Next steps will focus on biomechanical testing.
