Bolster F, et al. – Aim of this study was to document the detection of underlying low–attenuation spinal cord or brain stem injuries in the presence of the “pseudo–CT myelogram sign” (PCMS) on post–mortem computed tomography (PMCT). The results suggested that the “pseudo–CT myelogram sign” is a novel description of a diagnostic finding, which if present in fatal craniocervical region trauma, is very sensitive for underlying spinal cord and brain stem injuries not ordinarily visible on post–mortem computed tomography. Its presence may also predict major osseous and/or ligamentous injuries in this region when anatomical displacement is not evident on post–mortem computed tomography.
