Severe Cervical Kyphosis in Adolescent after Minor Trauma - A Case Report

A sixteen-year-old male had experienced mild neck pain after falling in the bathroom 3 months previously. He did not seek a medical treatment because he experienced only slight pain. However, neck pain continued and cervical deformity gradually developed. Three months after the initial trauma, he visited an outpatient clinic because of his cervical deformity. It was very difficult for him to look upward because of his cervical deformity. Severe cervical spinal kyphosis was detected at the clinic on X-ray examination. He was referred to our hospital for surgery.
