Abstract
Five cases of documented traumatic herniated nucleus pulposis are presented all occurring within the cervical region. The incidence of herniated disc in cervical spinal cord injury is 0.7%. The incidence of herniated disc in bilateral facet dislocations is 2.3%. The common features are radicular pain, incomplete syndrome, and bilateral facet dislocations. A routine myelogram is the most helpful test to establish the diagnosis.Keywords
