ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To diagnose the extent of soft tissue damage with MRI, and to evaluate the relationship between soft tissue damage and a spinal cord injury in an extension injury to the lower cervical spine trauma. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

Eighty-one patients who treated surgically for an anextension injury to the cervical spine over the past 5 years, were analyzed. All patients had undergone MRI after the injury, and for the specific grading of soft tissue damage, the grades were defined from grades 1 to 5.

RESULTS:

The spinal cord injury developed with more than grade 3 soft tissue damage associated with a rupture of the posterior longitudinal ligament (p<0.01). The changes in signal intensity of the spinal cord also developed according to the severity of soft tissue damage (p<0.01). There was no relationship between the soft tissue damage and the spinal cord injury in spinal stenosis (p=0.75).

CONCLUSION:

The extent of soft tissue damage was diagnosed precisely with MRI, and there was an close relationship between the soft tissue damage and spinal cord injury in the distractive- extension injury to the lower cervical spine trauma.
