On multiple projections of the neck, the cranial aspect of C2 is blunted, and there is no evidence of a normal dens. The second cervical vertebra displaced dorsally relative to the first cervical vertebra. On extension of the neck, this distance is moderately reduced. An endotracheal tube is in place secondary to anesthesia.
