Abstract
The radiological evaluation of patients with acute spinal trauina has always been
a challenging problem. Multiple radiological procedures are often necessary for complete
evaluation of the extent of spinal injury. CT provides on ideal modality whereby accurate
assessment of displacement of bony fragments as well as associated spinal cord and
nerve root injury can easily be performed, eliminating the need for difficult radiological
procedures.
