ABSTRACT

Spinal fractures in childhood therefore differ from such fractures seen adults with respect to their location, and the consequences that they can cause on spinal growth⁹. Ogden et al¹⁰, published that the most seen scenario is the multi-leveled vertebral compression resulting “Plastic fracture of the spine”⁴ leading to a delay in the diagnosis of thoracolumbar spine fractures. In this study, 4 years old child patient with progresive severe back pain continuied two weeks after trauma determined a L-4 spine fracture neglected due to the traffic accident in MRI was presented. As a result, if thes back pain is contiuned after trauma like our patient, the spinal fracture must be thought and made the MRI.
