Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] The epidemiological data of many industrialized countries put road accidents at the first place among the various causes of vertebro-medullary traumas followed by accidental falls in work and sports. The greatest incidence is found in males, with prevalence for the age group between the second and fourth decade (1,2). Acute cervical trauma represents the most serious and catastrophic traumatic injury to the spinal cord to the extent that it is responsible for about 20% of road deaths
