Chin trauma, mandibular fracture, and cervical spine injury are often progressive components of a single injury pattern. Knowledge of a commonly occurring sequence of damage in patients who have sustained minor head trauma helps to minimize diagnostic omissions and provides a rational basis for deciding how extensive the patient's evaluation should be. Chin laceration associated with underlying skeletal damage has been described previously, but its diagnostic significance seldom has been appreciated. This report describes representative patients with fractures of the cervical spine and of the mandible secondary to chin trauma and suggests a protocol for efficient diagnosis.
颏部创伤、下颌骨骨折和颈椎损伤常常是单一损伤模式的渐进性组成部分。了解轻度头部创伤患者常见的损伤顺序有助于尽量减少诊断遗漏，并为确定患者评估的范围提供合理依据。先前已有颏部撕裂伤伴潜在骨骼损伤的描述，但对其诊断意义却鲜有认识。本报告描述了因颏部创伤继发颈椎和下颌骨骨折的典型病例，并提出了高效诊断方案。
