Findings:
Routine non contrast CT scan of the cervical spine has been performed.
There is a displaced fracture of the base of the C7 spinous process with up to 2 to 3mm of displacement of the fracture fragments. Fracture extends to but does not involve facet joints bilaterally.
There is satisfactory alignment of the spinous processes, vertebral bodies and facet joints. There is satisfactory alignment of the occipitoatlantal and atlantoaxial joints. No significant prevertebral soft tissue swelling is identified.
Note is made of degenerative changes involving the cervical spine and the upper thoracic spine at multiple levels.
Conclusion:
Mildly displaced fracture of the C7 spinous process.
