title: Contiguous multiple cervicothoracic spinous process fractures in an adult: A case report.
abstract: Fracture of isolated spinous processes at multiple levels is a rare injury. Herein, we present a 45-year-old male with cervical pain and swelling following a road traffic accident. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed fractures of spinous process from C7 to D6 vertebra. The patient was managed with rest, analgesics and immobilization. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient is doing well without any neurological problem.
