Abstract:
A recent case of absence of a cervical pedicle in a traumatized patient is presented. An incorrect radiological interpretation of the patient's plain films resulted in inappropriate management. Further radiological investigation, including computed tomography, revealed the underlying abnormality, and prevented subsequent misadventure . A review of the literature on this interesting abnormality and a complete differential diagnosis are presented.
