Traumatic @entity3029 is usually fatal. Few case reports surviving this injury appeared in the literature. We report a rare case of a @entity1410 and an @entity3029 with survival. A 31-year-old male fell from a motorcycle and was thrown. His neurological examination showed mild @entity425 (gr III) and numbness of the arms. Enlargement of retropharyngeal space on the lateral cervical radiography helped to recognize the diagnosis. The BAI-BDI method proposed by Harris et al. were useful for diagnosis. Additional imaging, including @entity7994 , was helpful. He was diagnosed @entity3029 , @entity1410 , cervical @entity3439 , traumatic @entity510 , and mandibular fracture. He was orally intubated and the Philadelphia cervical collar was replaced. Additionally, occipitocervical fusion with internal fixation was performed. We emphasize that the presence of @entity1410 leads us to perform airway interventions and to suspect the presence of the upper cervical spine injury including @entity3029 .
