Popis: We describe a rare case of multi-level isolated spinous process fractures not clearly detected on admission and subsequently diagnosed on radiography 2 months after traumatic injury. Early recognition of a small crack in the spinous process and treatment with rest and immobilization is crucial to prevent chronic back pain or stiffness.
