Abstract
The authors point out the unique anatomical and therapeutic considerations involved in injuries of the cervical spine and cord in infants. The special problems encountered in the treatment of such patients are illustrated by three cases, a "Hangman's" fracture, a C6-7 fracture-dislocation, and an acute quadriparesis associated with dysgenesis of the posterior elements of C1-3.Keywords
