A rare cervical spine fracture occurred during bell-ringing. This case highlights the importance of considering the mechanism of injury for diagnostic imaging decisions in trauma patients.

Area of Science:

  • Traumatology
  • Radiology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Cervical spine injuries can result from diverse mechanisms.
  • Campanology, the practice of bell-ringing, involves dynamic head and neck movements.
  • Diagnostic imaging protocols for cervical trauma are crucial for timely intervention.

Observation:

  • A campanologist presented after a nonfatal hanging incident.
  • Initial physical examination revealed no midline bony tenderness.
  • Subtle abnormalities were noted on plain X-rays of the cervical spine.

Findings:

  • A computed tomography (CT) scan identified a type III odontoid peg fracture.
  • This represents the first reported instance of a cervical spine fracture during bell-ringing.

  • The case underscores the significance of the mechanism of injury in guiding imaging choices.

    • Implications:

    • Emphasizes the need for thorough evaluation of the injury mechanism in suspected cervical spine trauma.
    • Highlights the ongoing debate regarding the optimal first-line imaging modality for cervical spine assessment.
    • Suggests that unusual activities like campanology can pose unique risks for cervical spine injury.
