Abstract

Injury to the cervical spine is a potentially lethal condition, and the accurate detection of such injury is essential. Plain cervical radiography remains the first line of investigation, despite well documented difficulty with interpretation. There have been many studies demonstrating unreliability of plain cervical radiography in detecting atlanto-axial injuries. We report a group of patients in which false-positive interpretation of such injuries occurred.
