MRI scans showed normal spinal cord and intervertebral discs. MRI also revealed a well-circumscribed cortical bone within the dorsal cervical muscles. The abnormal bone was connected to the spinous process of C5 with cartilage tissue. MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.

Background
A “digit-like” bone is a rare developmental anomaly that is usually seen in the pelvic or thoracic regions. Such an anomaly in the cervical spine is extremely rare and few cases have been reported. We present a patient with an anomalous bone posterior to a cervical vertebra. The patient was admitted to our hospital with a gradually growi...

... radiographs (Fig. 2) showed an anomalous bone attached to the left side of the C5 (the fifth cervical) vertebra. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine showed a normal spinal cord and intervertebral discs (Fig. 3). It also revealed a well- circumscribed cortical bone within the dorsal cervical muscles (Fig. 3). Two-and 3-dimensional computed tomography revealed a finger-like bone with a pseudoarticulation attached to the hypoplastic spinous process of the left side of the C5 vertebra (Figs. 4 and 5). The anomalous bone had an obvious cortex and medulla osseous structure (Fig. ...

Objectives: In performing an open biopsy of a neck mass, an incisional biopsy may increase the
risk of cancer cell seeding and dissemination that, ultimately, worsens a patient’s survival. The
aim of this study was to compare the impact of incisional and excisional biopsies of cervical
lymph node metastases of solid tumors on patients’ survival.

Hand-wrist radiograph has until recently been the basic tool of choice, both in Pediatrics and Orthodontics, for calculating the skeletal maturation of an individual under development. In addition to hand-wrist analyses, the study of cervical vertebrae maturation, as seen from a lateral cephalometric radiograph, appears to be also a reliable indica...
Hanging is used worlwide for suicide. It is generally ends with sudden death. But if the person is reached in a short time after hanging attempt, the patient can be saved. But we may come across some medical problems like pulmonary edema, cervical vertebra instability, impaired cognitive functions. 28 year old female patient had been taken to our h...
