Cervical vertebral fracture: A report of two cases of “Near-Miss” C6 fractures

Cervical spine injury is commonly associated with road-traffic accidents. The true incidence of cervical spine injuries is unknown due to under-reporting of such injuries. Cervical spine injury is associated with high morbidity and mortality if it is missed. With the advancement of imaging moda...
