The prevalence of SCIWORA has been reported in a wide range between 4% and 67% [12,14,17] of pediatric spinal trauma cases, a large hairpin that could be at least partially explained by variability in the population studied, but more likely owing to the great disparities in the SCIWORA definition [14]. It is our understanding, as it was for Diagnosis. Pang and Wilberger 1 defined the term spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) in 1982 as "objective signs of myelopathy as a result of trauma" with no evidence of fracture or ligamentous instability on plain spine radiographs and tomography. The definition specifically excluded all magnetic resonance imaging East Midlands Emergency Medicine Educational Media. Jun 25. Jun 25 Lightning Learning: SCIWORA. Pandora Spilman-Henham.

Introduction. Firstly described in 1974 (), and then defined in 1982 in a pediatric population (), Spinal Cord Injury Without Radiologic Abnormalities (SCIWORA) still represents a diagnostic challenge for emergency physicians (EPs).The term SCIWORA indicates a clinically appreciable post-traumatic myelopathy in the absence of spinal column findings on radiographs and/or computed tomography (CT). Abstract. Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) is a concept introduced to define "clinical symptoms of traumatic myelopathy with no radiographic or computed tomographic features of spinal fracture or instability.".
