title: [Transverse fracture of the 2nd sacral vertebra with neurological signs. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report a case of transverse fracture of the second part of the sacrum with neurological signs. Whilst such a lesion would appear very rare, associated involvement of the sacral roots is very common. Recovery of the neurological deficit syndrome is hazardous. A review of the literature fails to provide the basis for a defined programme of management.
