N2  - Cervical spine region is known as very prone for injury because it is great mobility. Hyperflexion or hyperextension may create life-threatening injury to ankylosed cervical spine vertebra and spinal cord. The posttrauma result can range from neurological damage to the death. We present a case of a 52-year-old male patient, came to the emergency department with a history of road traffic accident induced quadriplegia and shock. The final diagnosis was chalkstick fracture of spine with complete cord transaction.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
