Osseous Variants of the Cervical Spine with Potential Pathological Significance: Possible Evidence of Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency in a Skeletal Sample from the Post-Classical Cemetery of Corfinio (12th–15th Centuries CE, L’Aquila, Italy)

Osseous Variants of the Cervical Spine with Potential Pathological Significance: Possible Evidence of Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency in a Skeletal Sample from the Post-Classical Cemetery of Corfinio (12th–15th Centuries CE, L’Aquila, Italy)
