Severe pediatric trauma, like car accidents, can cause spinal cord transection without obvious bone injury. This highlights the need for advanced imaging when neurological deficits don't match skeletal findings.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pediatric Traumatology
  • Spinal Cord Injury

Background:

  • Spinal cord transection is a known complication of difficult childbirths.
  • Severe pediatric trauma can also lead to spinal cord transection.

Observation:

  • Three pediatric cases of spinal cord transection following severe trauma are presented.
  • One case showed no skeletal injury; two had cord transection remote from cervical fractures.

Findings:

  • Spinal cord transection in children can occur without associated skeletal injury.
  • Neurological deficits may not correlate with apparent bony or ligamentous injury levels.

Implications:

  • Routine radiography may miss spinal cord transection in pediatric trauma.

  • Further advanced imaging is crucial when clinical findings are incongruent with radiographic evidence.
  • This emphasizes the importance of considering remote cord transection in pediatric trauma evaluations.
