Vertebral Artery Injury After Cervical Spine Trauma

In a particular study, researchers utilized MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) technology on sixty-one patients who had been admitted to the hospital with a cervical spine trauma. The writer discovered that “total disruption of blood circulation through the vertebral artery was shown… in 12 out of 61 people (19.7% of the patients).” Flexion injuries were discovered to be the most frequent kind of injuries in people who had vertebral artery injury. Blurring of vision that was transient is the symptom that is most commonly reported by these twelve patients.

These are all serious injuries since all of the people involved were admitted into the hospital. People with whiplash injuries have also reported vertebral artery injury as well. According to the study’s authors, the patients who showed neurological symptoms of insufficiency of the vertebral artery (symptoms not correlating with the soft-tissue and bone injuries with which they are presenting via standard imaging techniques) may actually have sustained an injury to the vertebral artery.
