Congenital absence of a cervical spine pedicle is a rare clinical entity and it is usually found incidentally on radiological studies performed after trauma in patients with cervical pain. We report two cases of congenital absence of a cervical-spine pedicle and present a review of the literature. Copyright © 2008 The Korean Neurosurgical Society.
