Abstract
On the lateral cervical spine radiographs of a 60-year-old woman compl aining of neck pain, diffuse hyperostosis or calcification was present anterior to the anterior arch of the atlas. CT of atlas revealed it t o be bipartite and the hyperostosis to be due to hypertrophy of its an terior arch. We report this as a new sign associated with a bipartite atlas.
