The radiological approach of a child with severe cervical spinal cord injury after a difficult breech delivery is presented. This diagnosis is often missed due to concurrent asphyxia. Ultrasound studies clearly showed the localisation and the extent of the injury. These findings were later confirmed by MRI.
