Abstract
Acute traumatic injuries to the cervical spine are common consequences of motor vehicle accidents. Typically, routine radiographs are the first imaging approach to these injuries; however with the use of computed tomography and magnetic resonance scans, it can be appreciated how radiographs can miss important fractures. The aim of this article is to report a case study of a missed diagnosis of a fracture-subluxation of the lower cervical spine and present a literature review.
