2017-5-10

A 46-year-old male cyclist fell and caused a fracture of the occipital condyle of the skull and injury of the cervical spine C1-2 ligament

Both his head and cervical spine are unstable, and his arm is temporarily numb due to cervical nerve damage.

Similar to the 86-year-old old woman patient a few days ago, the same team of neurosurgeons and similar operations, but this time involving the posterior skull and occipital bone, a steel piece must be clamped into the skull on his pillow, which may damage his cerebellum and the main venous sinuses can cause stroke or death.

(#) This is an individual case, and the actual results vary from person to person.
