## Abstract

Cervical spine injuries (CSIs) in pediatric patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) pose unique diagnostic and management challenges. Current studies on the intricate overlap between pediatric TBI and CSI are limited. This paper explores the existing literature as well as the epidemiology, mechanisms of injury, diagnostic criteria, treatment strategies, and outcomes associated with CSI in pediatric TBI patients.
