title: Brain Contusion and Cervical Fracture in a Professional Boxer.
abstract: In brief: A 22-year-old professional boxer suffered a brain contusion associated with uncal herniation and cervical spine fracture in the ring. Unlike most catastrophic acute brain injuries in boxing, this one had a relatively favorable outcome. The authors discuss the role of emergency medical services in minimizing brain injury in boxing and the treatment of acute head trauma.
