ABSTRACT

Study Design: Cases report Objectives: We report 2 cases of relatively rare cervical fracture. Summary of Literature Review: Although numerous studies in the literature have investigated cervical spine injuries, patients with multiple-level cervical fractures have not been commonly described. Multiple non-contiguous cervical fractures are distinctively unusual. Materials and Methods: First case was a girl aged 8 years and 4 months who had multifocal compression fracture of C3, 5, 6 & T7, 8 without spinal cord injury. Second case was a thirty nine-year-old female who had Type I Hangman’s fracture and compression fractures of C3, 7. Results: We had satisfactory results of them treated nonsurgically. Conclusions: We should remind that cervical spinal column can incur multiple injuries in variant patterns.
