[Post-traumatic discoligamentous lesions of the lower cervical spine : delayed diagnosis of a second lesion (author's transl)].
Unilateral luxation of the lower cervical spine was diagnosed following injury in a patient, an associated severe subjacent ligamentous sprain remaining undetected until a later date. The reasons for the delay in making the second diagnosis are exposed. The possibility of employing peridurography in order to treat these discoligamentous lesions simultaneously, is discussed.
