Immature Spine

Jefferson fractures of the immature spine have received little attention in the study of pediatric spinal trauma. Fractures through synchondroses are a possibility in the immature spine, in addition to fractures through osseous portions of the vertebral ring, and they create opportunities for misinterpretation of diagnostic imaging. The authors describe 3 examples of Jefferson fractures in young children. All 3 cases featured fractures through an anterior synchondrosis in association with persistence of the posterior synchondrosis or a fracture of the posterior arch. The possibility of a Jefferson fracture should be considered for any child presenting with neck pain, cervical muscle spasm, or torticollis following a head injury, despite a seemingly normal cervical spine study. Jefferson fractures in young children are probably much more common than previously recognized.

Abstract Thirty patients suffering from minor head injury were examined with auditory brain stem responses (ABR), neuropsy-chological tests for assessment of higher nervous functions, and a questionnaire on postconcussional symptoms. Comparison of the 6 patients with altered ABR with the other 24 showed no statistical difference in either the number of long-lasting postconcussional symptoms or the scores on neuropsychological tests. Subclinical brain stem involvement as shown by ABR does not seem to correlate with impaired mental function or symptoms of the postconcussion syndrome. This greatly limits the use of ABR in forensic medicine.
