Abstract:

We present a case report of spine and spinal cord injury caused by wound to the face by a foreign body followed by its penetration to cervical soft tissues and lateral compression of the spinal canal by the foreign body causing a neurological deficit. A significant regression of neurological disorders was observed after the dislocation of the vertebra had been eliminated.
