Özet:

 

Fractures of the sacrum are uncommon and generally associated with fracture of the pelvis. 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 lately by sacral laminectomy and S1, S2 root decompression, is reported. Since the first case report of sacral fracture with injury to cauda equine, there have been sporadic reports of such fracture in the literature. We report an unusual case of transverse sacral fracture with neurological damage, which presented to our clinic after four months of injury.
