Description
We report a case showing the classic features of a Hangman’s cervical spine fracture following a motor vehicle collision. Because this injury was not diagnosed at ED presentation, this case also illustrates the select subset of trauma patients for whom the almost obsolete lateral cervical spine radiograph remains an important part of the radiographic trauma series.
