A 31-year-old male patient, fall from height ‘palm tree’ presented with paraplegia and incontinence. Sagittal T2-weighted (A) and T1-weighted (B) images show compression fracture of L1 vertebral body with posterior retropulsion and posterior paraspinal soft tissue injury including flava, interspinous and supraspinatus ligaments. Large amount of cord edema with high T2 signal intensity and no appreciated T1 signal abnormality. Sagittal trace (C), ADC (D) and grayscale FA (E) images show high trace signal intensity with corresponding low ADC value and low FA signal intensities within the compressed part of the spinal cord. 3D MR fiber tractography images (F, G) show partial fiber disruption on the posterior aspect of the contused spinal cord
