Abstract
The cervical spine is a relatively fragile structure traversed by the spinal cord. Injuries to the cervical spine (c-spine) are therefore associated with potentially catastrophic neurological complications. This article illustrates the importance of routine c-spine immobilization in all trauma patients and highlights how early diagnosis of injuries can optimize outcome.
