Figure 12b. Abnormal vertebral bodies. Anteroposterior (a) and left lateral (b) radiographs of the cervical spine in a patient aged 16 years show asymmetric overgrowth of multiple vertebral bodies with resultant dextroscoliosis, hyperlordosis, and abnormal anteroposterior alignment of the upper cervical vertebral bodies, which led to a marked reduction in the patient’s mobility. Note also the rib asymmetry and thoracic scoliosis in a.
