-
This case highlights a unique case of chronic and unrelenting cervical pain in a patient with congenitally fused C2-3 cervical vertebrae.
-
Recent studies suggest that congenitally fused cervical vertebrae may be more common than previously reported [1].
-
Prior literature suggests fused cervical vertebrae are found more commonly amongst patients with degenerative changes [2, 3].
-
This case yields valuable teaching points including how best to approach axial neck pain in patients with congenital cervical fusions.
