Review Case Reports
Traumatic transverse fracture of sacrum with cauda equina injury--a case report and review of literature.

Transverse fractures of the sacrum are even less frequent and neurological deficit may accompany these fractures. A case of transverse fracture sacrum with cauda equina injury treated by sacral laminectomy and root decompression, is reported.
