摘要: A 36-year-old male developed a burst fracture of the L1 vertebra following seizure. The patient experienced conus-cauda equina compression resulting in urinary retention and patchy sensory loss. An MRI spine revealed short tau inversion recovery (STIR) hyperintensity at with 70% loss vertebral body height, 8-mm posterior bony retropulsion into spinal canal T2-weighted cord, which is consistent cord edema. thorough physical exam imaging critical for immediate diagnosis injuries to prevent grave neurological complications.
