title: [Clinical and roentgenological diagnosis of spinal cord compression in acute closed trauma of the cervical spine].
abstract: The clinical picture of injury to the spinal cord in the acute period of the trauma and the results of radiological examination of 184 patients with closed trauma of the cervical spine are analysed. Associations of clinical and radiological signs were revealed which pointed to compression of the spinal cord and showed the degree of its damage. The data obtained allow the method of treatment to be chosen and the possible outcome of the spinal cord injury to be prognosticated.
