| Abstract: | Cervical spine injury is a frequent sequelae of accidental trauma. Clinical evaluation often fails to raise adequate suspicion of an underlying injury. Radiologic assessment frequently reveals recognizable signs of damage ranging from fractures to joint and soft tissue injuries. This paper reviews the pathomechanics, clinical and radiologic features of the most common patterns of cervical spine injury. |
