OBJECTIVE: CT is the standard of care for assessment of traumatic injuries. Because of the detail depicted with this technique, findings incidental to the injury are easily detected. We sought to determine the frequency and types of incidental findings in the cervical spines of trauma patients undergoing CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The trauma registry was accessed to identify the cases of patients evaluated with cervical spine CT at a level 1 trauma center from January to July 2007. Trauma registry data, including age, sex, injury severity score, mechanism of injury, length of stay, and diagnosis were recorded, and all CT scans of the cervical spine were reviewed for incidental findings. Clinically significant incidental findings were classified according to bodily location, and the association between various patient characteristics and the likelihood of an incidental finding was assessed. RESULTS: We identified incidental CT findings in 230 of 1,256 patients (18.3%) who underwent CT of the cervical spine during an initial trauma evaluation. We stratified the incidental findings as trauma-related and not trauma-related. The likelihood of non-trauma-related incidental findings was associated with age (p \textless 0.0001). The likelihood of trauma-related incidental findings was associated with injury severity score (p \textless 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Incidental findings in the cervical spine were associated with age, injury severity score, and mechanism of injury. Awareness of the prevalence of incidental findings is important to assuring that both traumatic and nontraumatic pathologic findings are detected and appropriately managed.

BACKGROUND: Abdominoplasty is associated with a 1.1 percent risk of deep venous thrombosis. This has been attributed to rectus plication causing intraabdominal hypertension, known to effect decreased venous return, venous stasis, and thus thrombosis. The authors conducted a pilot study to determine which components of the abdominoplasty procedure (i.e., general anesthesia, flexion of the bed, plication, and/or binder placement) may elevate intraabdominal pressures and whether this was clinically relevant. METHODS: Twelve abdominoplasty and 10 breast reduction (control) patients were enrolled prospectively. Intraabdominal pressure was transduced through the bladder before plication in the supine and flexed positions, after plication in both positions, after skin closure in the flexed position, and on postoperative day 1 with and without a binder in the flexed position. RESULTS: All intraabdominal pressures measured were clinically insignificant (\textless20 mm Hg). A statistically significant increase was found from flexion of the bed (mean difference, 3.80 +/- 2.0, p \textless 0.001, in the control group; and 4.39 +/- 1.68, p \textless 0.001, in the study group); rectus plication (mean difference, 2.78 +/- 2.11, p = 0.001, in the supine position; and 2.03 +/- 2.48, p = 0.016, in the flexed position); and binder placement (2.63 mm Hg for no binder versus 4.5 mm Hg with binder, p = 0.004). Both groups also showed an increase from preoperative to skin closure (mean difference, 2.03 +/- 6.7, p = 0.035, for the control group; and 2.83 +/- 3.97, p = 0.031, for the study group), suggesting general anesthesia as a risk factor. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the effect of rectus plication on increasing intraabdominal pressures but also implicates bed position, binder placement, and general anesthetic as risk factors. A larger study is needed to clarify the role of these variables in elevating intraabdominal pressure during abdominoplasty.
