Hyperextension injuries of the cervical spine. Magnetic resonance findings

A L Goldberg et al. Skeletal Radiol. 1989.

Abstract

Eleven patients with acute cervical hyper-extension injury underwent magnetic resonance examination. Magnetic resonance was particularly helpful in diagnosing both intrinsic cord contusion and extradural compression. When spinal cord compromise was present, surgery was undertaken without resort to myelography.
