When I fi rst got into Pediatric Radiology in the 1960s and then when I moved to UTMB in Galveston, Texas in 1970, I became more and more interested in the cervical spine. I realized that in the pediatric age group, interpretation of the cervical spine images was often a problem for everyone, including myself. The reason for this was that there are many normal physiologic and anatomic variations that frequently mimic pathology, and at times this would become confusing.
