Cervical spine imaging and injuries in young children with non-motor vehicle crash-associated traumatic brain injury.
Researchers evaluated cervical magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography practices and cervical spine injuries among a stratified random sample of young children with non-motor vehicle crash-associated traumatic brain injury (TBI). They found that abusive head trauma victims appeared to be at increased risk of cervical injuries. They recommended prospective studies to define the risk of cervical injury in children with TBI concerning for abusive head trauma and to inform development of imaging guidelines.
