骨骼系统放射学基础（13）——颈椎隐性骨折

Figure 13 Occult cervical spine fracture. A lateral view of the cervical spine (A) shows normal-appearing structures at C3. No anterior soft tissue swelling is seen. The anteroposterior view also was normal. Because the patient was complaining of severe pain and had been ejected during a motor vehicle accident, a computed tomography scan was obtained (B), and a transverse image showed a fracture through the lateral mass of C3 (arrows).
