Abstract

Authors report the case of an adult man showing cervical spine involvement with radicular pain of acute onset. The happening followed a Jet Ski use for recreational purposes, and the patient did not had any training before the event. MRI of the cervical spine showed a massive disc involvement at the C6-7 level, and a conservative treatment with supportive collar was warranted. Particular attention should be made with the advent of personal watercraft (PWC) engines and devices in our area, unknown before both to users or clients as well as to medical staff. PWC might show a wide range of bodily injuries, some of them even lethal, therefore guidelines and precautions might be needed extensively in the next future.
