Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 53682
  • Image ID: 30651233
  • Image stack position: 4/16
  • Plane projection: Sagittal
  • Aux modality: T1
  • Study findings: Marrow edema in C6-T2 vertebral bodies with loss of height at C6 anteriorly and of T2 vertebral bodies of approximately 40-50%. At C5/6 there is increased T2 disc signal with a superiorly projecting disc extrusion. At C6/7 there is increased T2 disc signal with posterior central/left subarticular disc extrusion, contacting the cord but only moderately narrowing the central spinal canal. PLL is stretched over these disc extrusions with some elevated signal, but otherwise appears intact. Ligamentum flavum is intact. ALL is ruptured at the level of the C6 superior endplate. Increased T2 cord signal at C5/6. No susceptibility artifact to suggest cord contusion or epidural hematoma. Prevertebral edema extends from C2 to T4. High T2 signal throughout the cervical and upper thoracic facet joints. High T2 signal within the posterior paraspinal soft tissues from C1-C7 and T1-2. Loss of normal T2 flow void in the right vertebral artery from shortly after its origin to proximal basilar artery. Normal flow T2 void signal in the left vertebral artery.
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: C6 vertebral body and right articular pillar fractures. Right C6 and C7 transverse process fractures involving the transverse foramen. T2 vertebral body fracture.
