P Bruni et al. J Neurosurg Sci. 1994 Mar.

Abstract

A case of post-traumatic cruciate paralysis with a Jefferson's fracture was observed in a 54-year-old patient who fell accidentally. Cruciate or Bell's paralysis is a condition caused by incomplete cervical spinal cord lesion linked to focal and reversible damage of the pyramidal tract at the level of the decussation. The patient was treated by S.O.M.I. brace and a Philadelphia collar with a complete neurological restitution.
