Abstract
A 29-year-old woman presented with persistent neck pain for 1 week, following a road traffic accident in which she had sustained a whiplash injury. On examination, all movements of the neck were slightly restricted by pain, but there was no local tenderness and neurological examination was normal. Anteroposterior, lateral and left oblique radiographs of the cervical spine are shown and certain features marked with arrows (Figures 1–3).
