Open Mouth View X-ray An open mouth view x-ray is a special view to visualize upper cervical spine problems especially C1 and C2 vertebrae. Routine anteroposterior cervical spine view shows the spine from C3 segment and is usually less helpful in diagnosing acute injuries. Open mouth view x-ray is not done routinely and is ordered when a problem is suspected in upper cervical spine. The open mouth view is essential for excluding a C1 arch or odontoid process fracture. Odontoid process is part of the second cervical vertebra that projects upward to articulate with C1 vertebra. The open mouth odontoid radiograph (x-ray) is used to assess for the presence of an upper cervical spine injury. Common injuries to the upper cervical spine include: Dens Fracture (i.e., C2 Odontoid Fracture)Jefferson's Fracture (i.e., C1 Burst Fracture)Transverse Ligament InjuryBasilar Invagination Being able to read and recognize common landmarks when interpreting an open mouth odontoid view is important in determining who has an unstable condition that may warrant more aggressive intervention. Below are some common things to consider when reading these radiographic images. — at WDC.
