We have experienced eight cases of multiple noncontiguous cervical spine injuries for six years, from 1979 to 1985.
They consist of five cases of a combination in upper and lower, a case of combination in middle and lower cervical spine and two cases of multiple noncontiguous disc injuries.
We had two patients who failed to be diagnosed secondary injuries of cervical spine, therefore we believed that we should take careful check regarding radiological and neurological examinations.
In the multiple noncontiguous disc injuries, we could not determine the main lesion before the operations.
