Abstract

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are the most devastating of all traumarelated injuries. SCI is predominantly a disease of young men. The majority of penetrating injuries are caused by gunshot wounds. Stabbing injuries caused by knives, screwdrivers, glass fragments and nails are much less common (1). In this report we presented an injury type which occured in a young man with a nail lodged between the os cranium and the first cervical vertebra.
