Abstract:
:We report a case of cervical spine, tracheal and oesophageal trauma from a go-karting injury caused by the patient's scarf catching in the vehicle's wheel. We discuss the significance of the pre-hospital and operative management of this potentially life-threatening injury by a multi-specialty surgical team. The importance of health and safety issues in recreational sports is highlighted in view of the increasing incidence of cervical spine trauma over past two decades.

杂志文章abstract::A subgaleal collection of blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is commonly encountered after craniotomy. In spite of the placement of subgaleal drains by many neurosurgeons, a collection at this site is frequent and occasionally can result in complications. 'Tenting' scalp stitches are described. Three to four (or more)...
