I'd like to talk briefly about one of the more
0:04
subtle fractures of the cervical spine,
0:06
and that is a fracture of the transverse process.
0:10
I know in my career I've missed a couple of these.
0:13
Fortunately,
0:13
they haven't resulted in any difficulty with the patients
0:16
because usually they're not unstable fractures.
0:19
However,
0:20
transverse process fractures are important in the cervical spine
0:23
because they mark part of the border of the foramen
0:27
transversarium where the vertebral artery is running.
0:31
And therefore,
0:32
whenever I am at the endpoint of looking
0:35
at a cervical spine for fractures,
0:37
I will usually go to the thin section images and just spend a
0:42
lot of time looking at the transverse process and the foramen
0:46
transversarium in order to identify the possibility of
0:50
a fracture in that location.
0:52
This is much, much easier.
0:54
And we'll see this in the lumbar spine where transverse process
0:57
fractures from avulsion from the psoas muscle
1:00
are very, very common.
1:02
Here you see a comminuted subtle fracture of the left transverse
1:07
process that is extending to involve, obviously, the foramen
1:12
transversarium where the vertebral artery resides.
1:15
This is something that is seen on the 0.5 millimeter
1:19
thick sections, but not on the thicker sections.
1:22
You notice over here that we have a little piece
1:24
of bone kind of flying in the breeze.
1:27
This is a portion of the avulsed part of the transverse process
1:32
that you see on the right side where it's also been fractured.
1:36
So again, not an unstable fracture,
1:39
but a fracture that may be associated with a vascular
1:43
injury and vertebral artery dissection.
1:46
Important not to miss. So scroll through it, you can do it
1:49
relatively rapidly. Scroll through and make sure that all those foramen
1:53
transversarium are intact, right and left before you close
2:00
the study and say no evidence of fracture.
2:03
Aha!
2:04
Here we see an additional transverse process fracture
2:08
at the C7 level with an avulsed portion,
2:13
not continuous with the transverse process more
2:17
approximately at the C7 level
2:19
and another level of discontinuity.
2:22
So, important to look at these easy fracture
2:25
to miss in the cervical spine.
