case_images: Full-length spine x-ray (antero-posterior and lateral incidence) and costal grid x-ray - from left to right. Full-length spine x-ray (antero-posterior and lateral incidence) showing a sinister convex lumbar scoliosis with a six-degree angle and a subtle dextro convex dorsolumbar scoliotic attitude. Costal grid x-ray with no relevant findings.

case_images: The costal grid x-ray presented no alterations, but the full-length spine x-ray showed a slight dextroconvex dorsolumbar scoliosis (Figure 1).
case_images: Dorsal spine CT scan. Dorsal spine CT scan revealing a fracture of the upper platform of the sixth dorsal vertebrae (yellow arrow) with slight depression and associated subchondral sclerosis with very slight flattening of the vertebrae that remained aligned, without compromising the vertebral canal or the contiguous intervertebral foramina. Disc herniations were not identified, and the vertebral canal and intervertebral foramina had adequate dimensions.
