RESUMO
The objectives of the study were to review the clinical entities that can cause ankylosis of the spine and to illustrate the spectrum of traumatic injury patterns. Ankylosing spondylitis, diffuse idiopathic systemic hyperostosis, degenerative spondyloarthropathy, and spinal canal stenosis can render the spine susceptible to trivial trauma. Multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can accurately diagnose vertebral and soft tissue traumatic injury patterns in this patient population.

The diagnosis of open globe injuries is often difficult to ascertain by physical examination and even with CT scans. MRI is used to evaluate a variety of globe pathologies and can also be used in certain patients with suspected injury of the globe. We report a case of traumatic globe injury, where MRI was utilized to accurately depict the presence and extent of open globe injury.
