Cervical spine deformity

This kind of malformation is rare in the cervical spine, and it can be shown as regular or irregular absence of 1/2 or 2/3 vertebrae; some of the remaining vertebrae can be congenitally fused with the previous or next shape. If the anterior 2/3 of the vertebra is absent, it can cause wedge-shaped changes and the cervical vertebra is convex backwards. Wedge deformation of one side of the spine can cause scoliosis of the cervical spine.
