[Traumatic quadriplegia and vertebral thrombosis (author's transl)].
The case of traumatic thrombosis of the vertebral artery in a 14 year old boy with quadriplegia is related. They were neither spinal fracture nor blockage at the Queckenstedt test and the spinal fluid was normal. The clinical recovery was poor but a partial revascularisation of the thrombosed vessel was observed. Physiopathological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of the traumatic thrombosis of the vertebral arteries and also literature data are under consideration.
