Trauma. (A) Sagittal CT image of the cervical spine shows a subtle teardrop fracture involving the anterior–inferior corner of the C3 vertebral body as well as prevertebral soft tissue swelling. (B) Sagittal T2-weighted image shows additional injury to the adjacent anterior longitudinal ligament and a C3-4 cord contusion shown by increased signal in the cord. (C) Sagittal T2-weighted image in a different patient shows traumatic cord transection at the C2 level. (D) Sagittal T1-weighted image in another patient shows mild L2 and L3 compression fractures. There is also a large T1 isointense ventral epidural hematoma that was not evident on CT. Source: Spine MRI, Basic Musculoskeletal Imaging Citation: Tehranzadeh J, MD.
