cervical lordosis


Q:
Age: 39   Sex: F   Concern: Sports injuries  

My daughter's medical records state she has significant loss of the normal cervical lordosis with mid torticollis. Can you please tell me what this means. Thanks!

-- vanessa


A:
Impossible to tell in absence of the context in which the xray was taken. It could simply mean that she had spasm of the neck muscle at the time the xray was taken.
