AB  - A  52-year-old  worker  of  normal  body  habitus  was  injured  in  a  fall  from  approximately  15  ft  (5  m)  of  height.  He  sustained  fractures  to  the  vertebral  bodies  of  C3  and  C4,  as  well  as  a  C5  transverse  process  fracture.  He  was  retrieved  by  an  ambulance  team  and  admitted  to  the  hospital  in  a  hemodynamically  stable  condition.  His  breathing  on  admission  was  noted  to  be  normal,  albeit  with  decreased  air  entry  to  the  right  side.  An  infiltrate  on  chest  x-ray  was  consistent  with  aspiration.  Neurologically,  the  patient  was  awake  and  alert.  He  had  evidence  of  a  Brown-Sequard  syndrome  with  an  almost  complete  paralysis  of  his  left  limbs  and  a  sensory  deficit  on  his  right.
