Absent cervical spine pedicle and associated congenital spinal abnormalities - a diagnostic trap in a setting of acute trauma: case report

BACKGROUND Congenital spinal abnormalities can easily be misdiagnosed on plain radiographs. Additional imaging is warranted in doubtful cases, especially in a setting of acute trauma. CASE PRESENTATION This patient presented at the emergency unit of our university hospital after a motor vehicle accident and was sent to our radiology department for imaging of the cervical spine. Initial clinic...

Dysphagia Due to Anterior Cervical Spine Osteophyte: A Case Report

Introduction: Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are more common in elderly, but anterior cervical osteophytes that cause problems in swallowing are rare. The most common cause of this problem is DISH disease (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). Trauma is also suggested as a potential cause in osteophyte formation. Case Report: We report a rare case of anterior cervical osteop...

Cervical spine - assessment following trauma.

BACKGROUND Although cervical spine trauma is more common following high velocity mechanisms of injury resulting in multiple injuries, falls and low velocity mechanisms may also result in serious cervical spine injury. OBJECTIVE This article describes the assessment and management of potential cervical spine injury in the primary care setting. DISCUSSION Patients presenting following trauma ...

Comparative effectiveness of using computed tomography alone to exclude cervical spine injuries in obtunded or intubated patients: meta-analysis of 14,327 patients with blunt trauma.

OBJECT The current standard of practice for clearance of the cervical spine in obtunded patients suffering blunt trauma is to use CT and an adjuvant imaging modality (such as MR imaging). The objective of this study was to determine the comparative effectiveness of multislice helical CT alone to diagnose acute unstable cervical spine injury following blunt trauma. METHODS The authors performe...

Correlation of MR imaging findings with intraoperative findings after cervical spine trauma.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are limited data correlating MR imaging and anatomic findings of ligamentous injury in cervical spine trauma. This study compares acute MR imaging with surgical observations of disk/ligamentous injury after blunt cervical trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with acute cervical spine trauma who underwent preoperative MR imaging and surgery from 1998 ...

The Canadian C-spine rule safely reduces imaging rates for cervical spine injuries.

Question: Does implementation of the Canadian C-spine rule in emergency departments reduce the proportion of patients referred for diagnostic imaging of the cervical spine without a concurrent increase in unidentified cervical spine injuries or serious adverse outcomes? Design: Matched pair cluster randomised trial. Setting: 12 emergency departments of teaching and community hospitals in Canada...
