  • Title: Cervical spine injury masquerading as a medical emergency.
    Author: Barron MM.
    Journal: Am J Emerg Med; 1989 Jan; 7(1):54-6. PubMed ID: 2914049.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of cervical spine fractures presenting as cardiac arrest in one case and as a coma with pneumonia and cervical osteomyelitis in the other are discussed. They demonstrate the need for careful history taking as well as a cautious approach to the cervical spine when accurate historical data are not available.
