Abstract
Two cases are presented in which a lower cervical cord syndrome followed a cervical spine injury. The radiological examination during life showed no fracture or marked displacement but at necropsy tearing of the C5-6 disc was demonstrated in both cases. The vertebral arteries were kinked in their intravertebral course and this had caused spinal cord infarction. The central region of the spinal cord was principally involved giving the clinico-pathological syndrome of acute central necrosis of the spinal cord.
