Abstract：Objective To discuss clinical MRI findings of patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord in-juries and to observe their prognosis results.Methods Ninety-six patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord inju-ries treated in our hospital from Jan.2011 to May 2015 were selected as research objects,including 50 males and 46 females.Patients’ age ranged from 15 to 69 years,with a mean age of (41.6 ±4.8) years.MRI scanning was per-formed and the relations between spinal cord MRI findings and patients’ clinical manifestations and prognosis were observed.Results Among the 96 traumatic cervical spinal cord injury patients,50 patients (52.1%) had cervical spine fracture and dislocation,42 of whom had different degrees of cervical intervertebral disc herniation;46 patients ( 47.9%) did not have fracture or dislocation,who had different degrees of cervical intervertebral disc herniation;30 patients (31.3%) were accompanied by hematoma outside spinal cord and paravertebral soft tissue injury.Patients with different clinical manifestations had different prognosis.Conclusion Diagnosing traumatic cervical spinal cord injuries with MRI helps to observe patients’ clinical manifestations,providing reference for its clinical treatment and better improving its prognosis.
