SCIWORA (spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormality)

The term SCIWORA (spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormality) originally referred to spinal cord injury without radiographic or CT evidence of fracture or dislocation. However with the advent of MRI, the term has become ambiguous. Findings on MRI such as intervertebral disk rupture, spinal epidural hematoma, cord contusion, and hematomyelia have all been recognized as causing primary or secondary spinal cord injury. SCIWORA should now be more correctly renamed as "spinal cord injury without neuroimaging abnormality" and recognize that its prognosis is actually better than patients with spinal cord injury and radiologic evidence of traumatic injury.
