Abstract
Case 2. Security cameras revealed that the patient had slipped on the snow with hands in pockets and struck his head on the floor. CT scans of his neck showed ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament in C2-4 and prevertebral soft tissue swelling (Fig. 2). He did not respond to target temperature management, and was pronounced brain dead. Conclusion: This case highlights that occult cervical spinal injury should also be considered on presentation of severe neurologic deficit and cardiopulmonary arrest in un-monitored patients especially on a snowy day.
