Abstract:
Thirty patients who have vertebral from February 1998 to December 2000 were selected in our study group. The average age of these patients is 36 years old (from 12 to 63). The proportion of vertebral trauma is very high (83.33%). Most patients have uninvertebral lesions and multiple vertebral lesions in succession. On CT scanner images traumatic lesions are fracture and dislocation of the vertebral column. Spinal compression is the symptom that is valuable in diagnosis and indication of operations.
