case_images: Simple roentgenograms revealed a dislocated fracture of Th12/L1 and fractures of the right 10th-12th ribs (Fig. 1).
case_images: The sagittal, coronal reconstructions, and axial CT images demonstrated a fracture-dislocation at the Th12/L1 level (A-C). The MRI T2-weighted images of the whole spine revealed a fracture-dislocation at the Th12/L1 level, with significant compression of the dura mater (D).

case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also revealed a similar fracture-dislocation, with findings indicating significant compression of the dura mater (Fig. 2).
case_images: The postoperative X-ray images demonstrated good reduction on both anteroposterior (A) and lateral views (B).

case_images: The wound was closed in layers, the surgery was concluded (Fig. 3), and the patient was transferred to the stretcher in the supine position.
case_images: The contrast-enhanced chest and abdominal CT scans revealed free air surrounding the duodenum and liver, along with fat stranding and fluid accumulation (arrow heads) (A, B).

case_images: The abdominal surgeon was consulted and contrast-enhanced CT imaging of the abdomen revealed the presence of free air extending from the duodenum to the perihepatic region, as well as fatty opacity and ascitic effusion (Fig. 4). The same CT scan demonstrated the optimal position of the pedicular screws, with no perforation of the anterior wall of the vertebral bodies.
case_images: A 1 cm perforation was revealed on the dorsal aspect of the descending duodenum without any accompanying injury to the pancreas (arrow).

case_images: A perforation of approximately 1 cm in the dorsal aspect of the descending part of duodenal was observed, but there was no evidence of damage to the surrounding liver or pancreas (Fig. 5).
