Abstract
Reports of neurologic injury as a result of undiagnosed cervical spine injuries in a patient with a normal computed tomography (CT) scan is a feared phenomenon not well described in the medical literature. Reported is a case of an elderly woman who was involved in a motor vehicle accident who was appropriately immobilized by the emergency medical services (EMS) and had a normal CT scan of the cervical spine who subsequently developed a few hours later neurologic deficits. This is the first documented report of neurologic deterioration occurring in an emergency department after a normal CT scan of the cervical spine in a patient with an occult cervical spine injury.
