MR imaging of penetrating spinal trauma.
T he goals of treatment of acute spinal injury after penetrating trauma are to ensure stability of the spine, to minimize the extent of neurologic deficit, and to prevent further loss of neurologic function. MR imaging directly reveals the spinal cord parenchyma so that the radiologist can detect missile tracts, contusions, and hematomas resulting from direct cord penetration and indirect concu...
متن کاملMR imaging of acute spinal cord trauma.
The thoracic spinal cords of five mongrel dogs were imaged with a 1.5 T MR scanner before and after trauma induced by a well-established method of spinal cord impaction that produces central cord hemorrhagic necrosis. The anesthetized dogs were studied acutely with a 5-in. circular surface coil, 12-cm field of view, sagittal and axial partial-saturation (TR = 600, TE = 25 msec) and spin-echo (T...
متن کاملSpinal cord transection in a child after non-penetrating trauma.
A three-year-old male child presented after sustaining a fall from a second story window onto a fence below. The long axis of the child’s vertebral column was oriented perpendicular to the length of the fence, causing the majority of the forces to be directed to the spinous processes of T3-4. Initial neurological examination demonstrated complete loss of motor and sensory function below the T4 ...
متن کاملDelayed neurologic deterioration in the patient with spinal trauma: role of MR imaging.
PURPOSE To 1) correlate spinal MR features and modes of clinical presentation associated with symptomatic neurologic deterioration following longstanding spinal trauma; 2) correlate degree of neurologic deficit with spinal MR appearance in these patients; and 3) determine the relationship between new symptoms and ongoing cord compression. METHODS Retrospective examination of MR images, and co...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of spinal trauma.
A retrospective series of 118 magnetic resonance examinations of 110 patients who had sustained previous spinal trauma is reported. Examinations performed within 3 weeks of trauma showed extraspinal soft tissue (including ligamentous) injury in 48% and intraspinal lesions in 61% (mostly consisting of extradural haematoma and spinal cord contusion). In examinations performed more than 3 weeks af...
