İnfantta radyolojik bozukluk olmadan spinal kord yaralanması

SCIWORA (radyolojik bozukluk olmadan spinal kord yaralanması) travma sonrası vertebral kolonda direkt radyografide, bilgisayarlı tomografide ve miyelografide radyolojik olarak görünür bir hasar olmaksızın myelopati kliniğinin ortaya çıktığı durumdur. Bu yazıda spinal kord yaralanmasında erken tanı ve tedavinin önemini vurgulamak amacıyla SCIWORA tanısı konan infant olgu sunuldu.

Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) in infant

SCIWORA (spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality) is the myelopathy clinic that occurs without radiologically visible damage on direct radiography, computed tomography and myelography after trauma to the vertebral column. This article presents an infant case with SCIWORA to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord injury.
