We present three cases of cervical spinal fracture, involving two columns w ithout an obvious neurological deficit. Usually if two of three columns are fractured, the injury is considered unstable structurally and clinically F ortunately our cases did not involve sensory or motor impairment because of an enlargement of the spinal canal.
