A horizontal lucent line projecting over a cervical vertebral body on lateral radiographs and simulating a fracture is described. The pseudofracture line results from the lucency between contiguous proliferative osteophytes at the uncinate process/vertebral articulation. Associated disc space narrowing was seen in all of our eleven cases. The origin of this pseudofracture line, cases illustrating this phenomenon, and additional projections helpful for clarification are presented.
描述了一种在颈椎侧位X线片上投射于椎体上方且类似骨折的水平透亮线。这条假骨折线是由钩突/椎体关节处相邻增生骨赘之间的透亮区形成的。在我们的11例病例中均可见相关的椎间盘间隙变窄。本文介绍了这条假骨折线的起源、说明这种现象的病例以及有助于明确诊断的其他投照方法。
