TRAUMATIC FAR OUT SYNDROME: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2010, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
This study presents a report on the traumatic far-out syndrome with L5 radiculopathy caused by vertically unstable sacral fracture. It is found that the associated L1 burst fracture makes the neurologic examination of sacral fracture more complicated. The L5 radiculopathy should be examined in patients with unstable alar fractures. An MRI examination should be planned in the existence of neurologic insult. In light of findings of this case report, we concluded that immediate traction was a useful method for early management of the traumatic far-out syndrome.
