Abstract
Trauma is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in childhood. 1,2 Spinal traumas are less common compared to adults. 1 Spinal traumas are mostly associated with lumbar vertebrae, but cervical injuries are observed more frequently in young children (<8 years). 2,3 In contrast to adults, upper cervical injuries (such as C2-C3) are observed more frequently. 1,4 Although fractures are rare in this age group due to the flexible structure of the spine, cervical cord injuries are a significant risk. 3 While vehicle collisions and falls from height are among the most common causes of such injuries, fall mechanisms are more prominent in younger age groups. 1–4 Although a significant portion of cervical injuries are treated conservatively, surgical intervention may be required in some cases. Conditions such as spinal cord lesions without radiologic abnormalities (SCIWORA) may cause diagnostic difficulties, especially in young children. 4 In such cases, MRI with advanced imaging methods is an important diagnostic tool. Although neurologic deficits are rare, concomitant head trauma may cause serious complications and increase the mortality rate. 2–4 Therefore, careful evaluation of pediatric trauma patients in terms of cervical spine injuries and adoption of appropriate diagnostic-treatment approaches are of vital importance.
