Degeneration of the spine is a common reason for pain in the musculoskeletal system. Radiography is an important tool for diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Cost efficacy and economy of time are advantages in using conventional x-rays. Although narrowing of intervertebral disc spaces, irregular ossification of the vertebral end-plate as well as osteophytes, facet joint osteoarthritis and spondylolisthesis can be observed, early changes in the discs or the subdiscal bone can not be detected by x-rays. Moreover, 3-dimensional imaging is not possible. Computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are reliable for identifying disorders of the spine and soft-tissue. Differentiation between inflammation, trauma and tumor is possible. There is still a problem with the relationship between the information obtained by x-rays or MRI and clinical symptoms. Therefore, interpretation of radiological examinations assumes a knowledge of clinical symptoms and the different kinds of diseases which are possible.

“…1 However, with changes such as increased time spent working at a desk or driving, resulting in long periods of inactivity with a poor posture, the morbidity of this disease is increasing year on year, with patients becoming progressively younger. 2,3 Cervical hyperplasia has commonly been reported in cervical vertebrae C4, C5, C6 and C7, 4 but such reports are often based on conventional X-ray plain films, which do not show the upper cervical spine (C1 and C2) clearly. 5 The use of computed tomography (CT), together with multiplanar reconstruction, provides a clear image of all seven cervical vertebrae without any blind areas.…”

ObjectiveTo analyze the incidence and age and gender profiles of hyperplasia in individual cervical vertebrae.MethodsIn this retrospective study, computed tomography three-dimensional reconstruction images of cervical vertebrae from patients with neck discomfort were analyzed for the presence of hyperplasia and compared with age and gender data.ResultsScans from a total of 580 patients (352 males, 228 females) were analyzed. The highest incidence of hyperplasia was seen in C2 (25%), followed by C1 (23%), C6 (16%), C5 (15%), C7 (9%), C4 (8%) and C3 (4%). Patients with C2 hyperplasia were the youngest and those with C1 hyperplasia were the second youngest, while patients with C7 hyperplasia were the oldest. Of those with C2, C1 and C7 hyperplasia, males were significantly younger than females, whereas of those with C3, C4, C5 and C6 hyperplasia, females were significantly younger than males.ConclusionsHyperplasia of the cervical spine shows different age and gender profiles among the seven vertebrae. These findings may be helpful for the early recognition of cervical hyperplasia and highlight the importance of protecting the atlanto-axial joint in daily life.

“…Estudos histopatológicos da coluna cervical na doença degenerativa ordinária demonstraram que a maioria das alterações cartilaginosas atlanto-axiais é leve a moderada, variando entre degeneração e lacerações superficiais à degeneração mais profunda, com áreas de ruptura e ulceração da placa cartilaginosa. Raramente ocorre degeneração cartilaginosa completa, com aparecimento do osso subcondral em mais de 50% da superfície articular (Berlemann et al 2002;Konig et al 2005).…”

“…Sua superfície articular forma uma face convexa, repousando sobre as superfícies articulares superiores do Atlas que, apesar de serem levemente convexas, são relativamente mais planas que os côndilos occipitais, formando uma superfície articular não congruente e com alta mobilidade. As articulações atlanto-occipitais, no plano coronal, conferem grande amplitude e diversidade de movimentos às articulações atlanto-occipitais e atlanto-axiais(Berlemann et al 2002).…”
