Description

<p>Spinal cord concussion is defined as transient paralysis and/or sensory disturbance, which usually improve within 72 hours. These two cases of transient paralysis and sensory disturbance were considered due to spinal cord concussion because of hyperextension of the neck during playing sports. Both cases showed text neck on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans, which was assumed that the posture while using the portable electronic devices caused. In the future, as the number of text neck patients increases due to the widespread use of smart phones in children, the frequency of trauma-induced spinal cord concussion is expected to increase. Therefore, future study of posture and appropriate duration of use of portable electronic devices is warranted.</p>
