Sagittal vertebral body fractures: magnetic resonance imaging features

CJ Harvey, A Saifuddin, MH Nordeen and BA Taylor
Department of Radiology, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Trust, Stanmore, Middlesex, UK.

Isolated sagittal vertebral body fractures are rare and the plain radiographic diagnosis may be difficult. We report two cases, confirmed by CT, and describe the subtle MRI features which comprised increased signal intensity only on the midline sagittal T2 weighted images. In one case, the information from MRI significantly altered the patient's management by leading to a change from surgical to conservative treatment.
