Plain radiographs showed total ankylosis of the cervical spine and a C5 vertebral body fracture with anterior dislocation of C4 on C5 (Fig. 1). There were numerous thin pieces of foreign material along the spine (Fig. 1).
Gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted magnetic resonance image shows a recent compression fracture of the C5 vertebral body (arrow) and resultant spinal cord compression, as well as an old compression fracture of C7.
