Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Spinal trauma is the cause of high mortality and morbidity, the fall from height as mechanism that can cause a wide variety of lesions, associated both with the direct impact on the ground and with the deceleration. In such fall cases greater heights and higher mortality are involved.

PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report the successful management of life-threatening hollow-organ perforation following thoracolumbar spinal injury.

DISCUSSION: Perforation of the hollow-organ in the setting of thoracolumbar trauma may delay the diagnosis and can have devastating consequences.

CONCLUSIONS: This case supports the recommendation for neurosurgeon in the setting of thoracolumbar injury that perforation of the hollow-organ can have devastating consequences. It is vital to achieve an early diagnosis to improve survival rate.
