Understanding normal parameters of pediatric cervical spine is imperative for early detection of cervical spine injury by computed tomography (CT) post trauma. Young children have a higher biomechanical fulcrum, incomplete ossification, and increased soft tissue laxity which minimizes anatomical distortion on CT [1,2]. The first part of this two part study aims to establish normal cervical joint spaces measurements in non-traumatic pediatric population with particular attention to the lateral atlantodental interval (ADI).
