²Atatürk Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Nöroşirürji ABD, Erzurum In this study, 65 cases with lower cervical spinal injuries associated with multiple system trauma are analysed. The youngest patient is 8-year-old, and the oldest patient is 73-year old, average age is 27. Fifty four of patients are male, and 11 are female. The most common cause of trauma is traffic accident. Eighteen cases died, six of them within first 72 hours. Fifteen had severe neurological deficits, and 5 had severe thoracallesion, and also 2 cases had intracranial mass lesion. In the cervical spinal injuries with concomittant multiple system traumas, mortality and morbidity rates are higher than cervical spinal injuries alone. Therefore, we suggest that approach to general traumatic procedures should be personalized in these patients. Anahtar Kelimeler : Lower cervical injury, multiple system trauma, outcome
