Occult ligamentous injury of the cervical spine associated with cervical spine fracture.
We report the case of a 20-year-old patient with a C5 cervical spine fracture and an undetected ligamentous lesion between C1 and C2. Cervical spine lesion protocols and the rates of lesions that are not diagnosed with standard evaluation protocols are reviewed, with particular emphasis on comatose patients. Dynamic studies during the surgical procedure for fixation of the fracture are recommen...

متن کاملCost-effectiveness of MRI to Assess for Posttraumatic Ligamentous Cervical Spine Injury.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be sensitive in identifying ligamentous injury to the cervical spine. The major drawbacks to its routine use are cost and availability. The purpose of this study was to compare the cost of using MRI to rule out ligamentous injury of the cervical spine with the cost of immobilization in a cervical collar and outpatient follow-up. Neurologically ...
