AB  - Neck  stiffness  is  defined  as  limited  cervical  range  of  motion  caused  by  muscle  spasm.  This  limitation  can  occur  with  flexion,  extension,  rotation,  or  lateral  bending  and  may  or  may  not  be  associated  with  pain.  Nuchal  rigidity,  on  the  other  hand,  is  pain  with  limitation  through  all  ranges  and  is  typically  caused  by  significant  meningeal  irritation  in  the  same  manner  that  peritonitis  causes  abdominal  rigidity.  Meningismus  describes  signs  of  meningeal  irritation,  typically  pain  with  limited  cervical  flexion,  in  the  absence  of  true  meningitis.1
