diagnosis and prediction of recovery. Among the various modalities of imaging, spinal ultrasound appears to be very promising and hence is recommended as the first modality of imaging(4). However, it should be remembered that changes are known to occur in the lesion over time and a single ultrasound may not pick up all lesions. Hence, it is not surprising that ultrasound of the cervical spine was found normal in Case 1. If ultrasound findings do not correlate with the clinical features, a second imaging technique such as MRI should be done. Skeletal lesions seen on plain radiograph of the spine or CT are relatively uncommon(l,4).
