Abstract：Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation(CSCIWFD)is a distinct type of spinal cord injury that is not uncommon in clinic.Although patients with CSCIWFD exhibit clinical symptoms of cervical spinal cord injury,imaging manifestations such as fracture and dislocation are absent on X-ray and CT scans,making it easy for clinicians to misdiagnose the condition,which can impact subsequent diagnosis and treatment.This article provides an overview of the injury mechanism,clinical manifestations,pathophysiological characteristics,classification,and current treatment progress of CSCWFD to serve as a reference for clinical practice.The aim is to enable early accurate diagnosis of CSCWFD patients while reducing missed diagnoses rates so that effective treatment can be administered promptly thereby improving patient prognosis.
