  • Title: An unusual cause of spinal cord injury: case report and discussion.
    Author: Epstein BE, Marin EL.
    Journal: Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ); 1999 Nov; 28(11):650-2. PubMed ID: 10588473.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic spinal cord injury is a devastating condition that alters every aspect of the victim's life. Motor vehicle accidents cause about half of the cases, whereas others are the result of falls, recreational and sporting accidents, or acts of violence. We report a case of a C3 spinal fracture with a resultant Brown Sequard syndrome, which occurred in a unique manner and could have easily been prevented. There is a need for the medical community to play a more active role in educating the public to prevent accidents that lead to these catastrophic injuries.
