title: Eosinophilic granuloma of the cervical spine without vertebrae plana.
abstract: A case of eosinophilic granuloma of the cervical spine is described. Cervical radiography and computed tomography demonstrated destruction of pedicles and posterior portions of the neural arch. Vertebral body heights were essentially preserved and the importance of this finding is underscored. Computed tomography played an important role in evaluating the extent of this disease.
