Özet
Patients admitted to emergency departments with loss of consciousness following trauma often have cervical vertebrae fractures and spinal cord injuries with a ratio of 5-10%. Computed tomography (CT) and radiography are important for diagnosis. The aim of this study was to describe the interesting CT and radiography findings of a patient who had C3-4 dislocation anddistraction that was called shearing injury. C3 and C4 were seperated, but there was no fracture or major vascular injuries. Images were interesting. NEXUS and Canadian Rules were also referred to for clinical evaluation. Imaging modalities, espacially reformatted CT images, make it easier to diagnose where and what the problem is.
