Answer to Question 1

hangman's

Rationale: Hangman's fracture is a fracture that extends through the pedicles of C2 and may include subluxation of C2 onto C3.

Answer to Question 2

mild contrast reaction

Rationale: Patients experiencing mild reaction symptoms following injection of iodinated contrast will commonly experience a metallic taste in the mouth, warm/flush feeling, and/or redness to the injection site. The patient should be closely monitored. Most contrast reactions will occur within the first 5 minutes following injection.
