case_images: Initially, a cervical X-ray was ordered where a C3-C4 retrolisthesis was described (Figure 1).

case_images: The CT exam was performed three days later, revealing a 2mm C4-C5 anterolisthesis, an increased interspinous process space, but no fractures (Figure 2), therefore the previous X-ray's findings weren't confirmed.

case_images: The following day an MRI revealed C5-C6 interspinous ligament oedema, suggestive of a sprain, and superficial posterior paraspinal muscle oedema around C2 (Figures 3, 4).
