Pediatric spinal cord injury remains a relatively rare condition relative to its prevalence in the adult population. However, up to 5% of spinal cord injuries occur in children. In addition, age-related biomechanical and behavioral distinctions often make the detection and treatment of spine injuries in children much more challenging than in adults (1).

Neglected spinal injuries secondary to overlooked diagnosis may result in serious medical and medicolegal problems. These are not uncommon but are reported infrequently in the medical literature. I studied the incidence, causes, and consequences of neglected spinal injuries and recommendations for prevention and treatment by reviewing the literature ...

CONTINUUM: Lifelong Learning in Neurology, 2011
A spinal cord injury is a devastating, life-changing neurologic event that challenges patients, families, and caregivers. A myriad of neurologic and medical sequelae occur subsequent to the original insult. This article discusses epidemiology, primary and secondary injuries, acute therapy, and neuroprotective agents as well as the exciting areas of ...

Injury, 1990
We reviewed 47 children with spinal injuries. Three distinct patterns of injury were observed: subluxations and dislocations without a fracture (type 1), spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (type 2), and spinal fractures which may be associated with subluxation or dislocation (type 3).

New England Journal of Medicine, 1996
The goal of management of injury of the spinal cord or cauda equina is, if possible, to reduce the resultant neurologic deficit and prevent any additional loss of neurologic function. In a patient with a suspected bony injury of the spine, the spine must be immobilized to prevent neural injury, and the anatomy of the injury must be analyzed as a first ...
