Abstract The aim of this work was to evaluate the role of plain radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis of ’ different post-traumatic cervical spine injuries. The material of this work included 25 patients of cervical spine injury. All cases were subjected to: _ * Clinical and neurological examination. ~ * Plain radiographs, CT and MRI of the cervical spine. The basic data, plain radiography, CT and MR features of our patients were tabulated and analysed so as to demonstrate the different post¬traumatic lesions encountered in our work. Our cases were classified into four main groups: _ Group I: included subluxations and dislocations (10 cases - 40 % of total cases ). Plain radiographs detected 100 % of cases of subluxations, CT detected 80 %, and MRI detected 60 % of these cases. Group II: Included fractures (33 different fractures in 15 cases - 60 % of total cases ). Plain radiographs detected 60 %, CT detected 94 % and MRI detected 45 % of total numbers fractures. |
