Abstract
A method for treating a neurological condition such as autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder or other neurological condition that may be caused by biomechanical stresses imparted to the brainstem is performed by surgically correcting the clivo-axial angle of the patient and stabilizing the cranio-cervical junction after surgery. The surgery will relieve mechanical stresses imparted to the spinal cord and brainstem as a result of an abnormal clivo-axial angle, and is preferably performed by effecting a fusion of a first portion of a bone forming material based member to a human cranium, and effecting fusion of a second portion of the bone forming material based member to a least one portion of a human cervical spine. Fusion of the bone forming material based structural member to the human cranium may be promoted through the use of plate member that is shaped to define a graft accommodation space between the plate member and the cranium.
