Abstract

The post-traumatic cervical syndrome (PTCS) is analysed in 61 cases. the symptomatology can be local (neck pain), cervicocephalic (traumatic vertebrobasilar insufficiency), cervicobrachialgic and also in some cases cervicomedullar. The PTCS is classified into the injuries of the cervical spine with vascular lesions: these injuries may induce severe or benign osteoarticular lesions on the one hand, sevre or reversible vascular lesions on the other hand. All these combinations are studied. The diagnosis of the PTCS is established by vertebral angiography. The surgical treatment according to the authors consists in freeing the vertebral artery or cervical nerve roots by uncusectomy or uncoforaminectomy. The results of these operations are analysed; they are very successful.
