TERMINOLOGY. SCIWORA was defined in a series of children as objective signs of acute traumatic myelopathy in the absence of spinal column findings on plain radiographs, flexion-extension radiographs, and/or computed tomography (CT) [1,2].
What does SCIWORA stand for?
Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) in children.
Why is SCIWORA more commonly seen in pediatrics than adults?
SCIWORA is most commonly seen in children with a predilection for the cervical spinal cord due to the increased mobility of the cervical spine, the inherent ligamentous laxity, and the large head-to-body ratio during childhood.
