Summary:
- Radiopaedia case ID: 34430
- Image ID: 11198649
- Image stack position: 46/103
- Plane projection: Axial
- Aux modality: non-contrast
- Study description: Targeted T12-L2 examination
- Study findings: Burst compression fracture of the L1 vertebral body is associated with a 35% loss of vertebral body height. The fracture line breaches both the anterior and posterior vertebral body cortex and the anterior superior endplate. There is a 3 mm retropulsion into the spinal canal, resulting in only mild canal narrowing. The alignment is otherwise intact. No other fracture detected. The paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable. Conclusion: L1 burst fracture representing a two-column injury.
- Modality: CT
- System: Spine
- Findings: A compression fracture of L1 is noted with approximately 30% loss of height anteriorly. Mild narrowing of the central canal at this level.
