Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 77-year-old man presented with severe dyspnea, neck pain, tingling sensation in both hands, and weakness after an acute prevertebral soft tissue hematoma due to distractive-extension injury. Magnetic resonance images demonstrated an extensive hematoma accumulation, anterior longitudinal ligament and longus colli muscle injuries. We report here a case of dyspnea due to an extensive prevertebral hematoma by soft tissue injury without cervical vertebral fracture and/or dislocation and a review the relevant literature.
