  • Title: Congenital absence of a pedicle in a cervical vertebra.
    Author: Danziger J, Jackson H, Bloch S.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1975 Jan; 26(1):53-6. PubMed ID: 1122696.
    Abstract:
    The importance of agenesis of a pedicle lies in its resemblance to a destructive lesion of the pedicle or to an expanding lesion in an intervertebral foramen. The correct diagnosis can be made roentgenologically by demonstrating a widened intervertebral foramen at the level of an absent pedicle with posterior displacement of the maldeveloped lateral mass. Two cases of agenesis of a pedicle in a cervical vertebra are presented.
