We report a 35-year-old female patient who was admitted to our orthopedic department with neck pain for 2 months, radiating to right shoulder and arm region associated with numbness, tingling and paresthesia, with no recent history of any trauma, injury, fall or accident. We have found accidentally a dorsal spinous process schisis, a very rare vertebral abnormality, that we recognized in the X ray cervical spine performed in view of neck pain/cervical spondylosis.
