case_images: Computed tomography imaging showed bilateral pleural effusions, multiple fractures of the ribs, and traumatic thoracic spondyloptosis of T7 on T8 with anterior and lateral subluxation of the T7 vertebral body compared to the T8 vertebral body [Figure 2a]. The rostral segment of the transected spinal cord was noted to terminate at the T6 level and a distal segment started at the T8 level [Figure 2b], with a separation of about 1.4 cm between the two segments.
