Abstract

Cervical spine injuries in children and adolescents are rare. Common mechanisms include motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, fall from height, and gunshot injuries. Cervical spine injuries are classified by Allen and Ferguson according to the period they occur, as infantile, early juvenile, and late juvenile. Anatomically, two main types are defined as occipitoatlantal (upper cervical) and subaxial injuries. The purpose of this paper is to review cervical spine injuries in children and adolescents with respect to epidemiology, injury mechanisms, diagnosis, clinical and radiologic aspects, and treatment in the light of the current literature.

Özet

Çocukluk ve ergenlik döneminde servikal omurga yaralanmaları sık gözlenmeyen yaralanmalardır. Çoğunlukla motorlu araç kazaları, sportif yaralanmalar, yüksekten düşme veya ateşli silah yaralanmaları sonucu oluşur. Allen ve Ferguson tarafından, infantil, genç juvenil ve ileri yaştaki juvenil yaralanmalar olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Anatomik olarak bu yaralanmalar oksipitoatlantal (üst servikal) ve subaksiyel yaralanmalar olmak üzere iki tiptir. Bu yazıda, çocuklarda görülen servikal omurga yaralanmalarının epidemiyoloji, tanı, klinik, radyolojik muayenesi ve tedavisi ile ilgili temel bilgiler güncel çalışmalar ışığında sunuldu.
