Cases were children younger than 16 years with AARS after blunt trauma (n = 55); controls were (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">a<\/jats:italic>) children with other cervical spine injuries (other CSI, n = 485) and (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">b<\/jats:italic>) those with normal imaging of the cervical spine (non-CSI, n = 1060).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Children with AARS were younger (mean [SD] age, 7.7 [3.8] vs 10.7 [4.6]; Wilcoxon <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01). Falls accounted for 36% of injuries; there were no diving mechanisms (vs other CSI, falls 19%, Fisher exact <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01, and diving 7%, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.04). Children with AARS sought medical care more than 24 hours after the injury event (21% vs 1% for non-CSI controls, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01). Clinical findings associated with AARS included neck pain (67%) and torticollis (57%) versus other CSI, pain (47%) and torticollis (5%, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01) for each, and versus non-CSI controls, pain (33%) and torticollis (6%, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01) for each. Management of AARS included no intervention (n = 6, 11%), soft or rigid collar only (n = 24, 44%), traction (n = 14, 25%), halo (n = 9, 16%), internal fixation (n = 2, 4%), and varied across institutions (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.02).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Children with AARS often have a delayed presentation with neck pain and torticollis; falls are a common injury mechanism.
