Acute cervical spine trauma
Common fracture patterns with severe cervical spine trauma. Top row: cervical burst fracture at C5 level; left: axial CT image showing a fracture of C5 vertebral body; right: mid-sagittal T2-weighted MRI showing retropulsion of the body of C5 with spinal cord compression, T2-weighted signal changes within the spinal cord and T2-weighted signal changes within the posterior ligamentous complex indicating disruption of these ligaments. Bottom row: fracture dislocation C6-C7 level. From left to right: lateral x-ray, axial CT through C6/C7 facet level, and T2-weighted mid-sagittal MRI demonstrating spinal cord compression and T2-weighted signal change within the spinal cord
