AbstractCervical spine injury can be excluded by clinical examination, without the need for radiographic study, in many patients. For those who require study, computed tomography of the cervical spine with sagittal and coronal reconstruction is the best modality for both screening and diagnosing cervical spine injury. Optimal evaluation of the obtunded patient remains controversial.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
