(A) CT reconstruction lateral cervical spine demonstrating compression fracture and spinous process fracture from motor vehicle collision flexion injury in a
9½-year-old boy. There is a displaced and distracted fracture involving the C6 spinous process (although not visualized, this fracture extends into the
lamina on left side). Also not visualized in these images, the C6-C7 facet joints show mild widening, especially on right side with uncovering of the superior
facet of the C7. There is associated widening of the C6-C7 disc space with anterior compression deformity of C7 vertebral body. Findings are compatible
with a hyperflexion injury of the cervical spine. (B) MRI demonstrating compression fracture and spinous process fracture. A 20-30% compression
deformity superior aspect of the vertebral body at C7. No traumatic injury at the C6-C7 disc.
