Review Case Reports
Detection of vertebral artery injury after cervical spine trauma using magnetic resonance angiography.
We prospectively describe the incidence, magnetic resonance-based diagnosis, and treatment of vertebral artery (VA) injury resulting from closed cervical spine trauma. ⋯ Our data suggest that the incidence of VA injury in closed cervical spine trauma is significant and that FT fractures warrant flow-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging.
