Abstract

Evaluation of the dimensions of the spinal canal is difficult to achieve by conventional techniques. CT scanning permits accurate evaluation of the canal dimensions as well as comparison with levels above and below the site of injury. This report presents 3 cases of vertebral fractures in which narrowing of the spinal canal was demonstrated by CT.
