Table 2. Reports of the patient's radiological investigations including CT scans and MRI of the brain, spine and, arteries.

Investigation	Result
CT scan of the brain and spine	No CT evidence of acute intracranial injury/bleeding; Minimally displaced fracture of C4 left foramen transversarium; Mildly displaced fracture of left superior articular facet of C7 vertebra, with minimal diastasis of left-sided C6-7 facet joint; Undisplaced fracture of the left foramen transversarium of the C7 vertebra; Diminished intervertebral disc spaces at multiple cervical levels; No evidence of fracture of the cervical vertebral bodies or post-traumatic collapse
Intracranial CT angiogram	No evidence of arterial occlusion or dissection.
CT angiogram of the aortic arch	No evidence of arterial occlusion or dissection.
MRI of the spine	Degenerative changes involving the spine with disc degenerative changes as described above associated with indentation of the cord at C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels. No definite signal abnormality involving the cervical spinal cord at this level. Fracture with surrounding marrow edema/contusion of the left superior articular process at the C7 level, minimally displaced fracture involving the left transverse process of C4 with involvement of the left transverse foramina, and undisplaced fracture involving the left transverse process at C7 (correlated with CT scan). Minimal edema involving either aspect of the C6-C7 level intervertebral disc and pre-vertebral edema in the cervical spine.
