Magnetic resonance imaging in cervical cord birth injury

Pediatrics. 1990 May;85(5):760-4.

Abstract

Three children who sustained cervical cord injury due to birth trauma are described. The clinical and radiological data, and the central nervous system pathology of one child, illustrate the advantages and feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging in ventilator-dependent children with cervical cord lesions.
