Two cases of the severe fracture-dislocation of the cervical spine with tetraplegia have been treated successfully with a new technique. This technique consists of anterior vertebral body fusion with a tibia span added to the Cloward's method. This procedure permitted substantial removal of ruptured disks and bone fragments, effectivelly strengthened the spine weakened by fracture, and also ena...

Conventional CT and MR imaging findings lag the clinical manifestations of CPM. We present a case in which restricted diffusion was identified within the central pons by using MR diffusion-weighted imaging within 24 hours of onset of patient tetraplegia and...
