[A patient with spontaneous healing of traumatic spondylolisthesis of the cervical vertebrae].
The authors submit a report on a patient with traumatic spondyloptosis of the sixth cervical vertebra which occurred in an adult man when he bumped his head against a standing lorry. The injury of the cervical spine was diagnosed only four weeks after the accident when the patient regained consciousness and the vertebrae were already fixed in a pathological position. Seven years after the injury the patient is satisfied with his health, works in his original occupation, is engaged in sports and leads an active life.
