- Abstract
The complication rate of spinal cord injury due to trauma is 40%, and cervical spinal cord injuries tend to be significant [3]. In our case, we considered that the esophagus might have been drawn into the fracture site by the negative pressure of the fracture cavity due to the cervical spine hyperextension injury and that the incarcerated esophagus might have been sandwiched between the fractured vertebral bone fragments. 1 Computed tomography (CT) showing diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and C6 cervical spine fracture resulting from a hyperextension injury and stenosis of the spinal canal at level C6.
