The prognosis of a complete cervical spinal cord injury is based on an accurate initial diagnosis and on immediate treatment in order to release the medullary compression and stabilise the spine. The diagnosis of a complete traumatic quadriplegia depends upon a thorough neurological examination, particularly noting sensation and motor power of the sacral segments, looking for a sacral sparing which is a sign of a better prognosis. The authors analysed a well documented case of progressive recovery obtained after nearly immediate open reduction and synthesis of a C1 C2 fracture-dislocation with complete quadriplegia.
