The differential diagnostic problems of a case of vertebra plana Calvé having a rare location in the cervical spine are discussed. The various theories of aetiology and pathogenesis are considered briefly. The differentiation from inflammatory and tumourous diseases of the vertebral column is of great importance for therapeutic reasons. Skeletal scintigraphy was used for the first time for differential diagnosis in the case presented.
