“…Injury to the spinal cord worldwide is a high kind of disabling injury, even the injury to the spinal cord alone can itself lead to multiple organ damage or loss of motor and sensation function. The cervical spine injuries (CSIs) prevalence associated with traumatic brain injury ranges between 4 and 12.5% [1]. Its management of cervical injury associated with a head injury can be costly, long duration of recovery affects the person's psychologically and their family, in the loss of labor forces and leads to a societal burden [2].…”

Objective: Outcome of cervical spine injury associated with traumatic brain injuries. Materials & Methods: This study is a cross-sectional descriptive study that was performed at the Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre, Karachi. 158 total patients were included in the study, this study by non-probability consecutive sampling. The diagnosis was based primarily on a CT scan brain plain and an x-ray of the cervical spine of all the patients who were admitted to the ward. Results: Among 158, the age distribution of the patient was observed as 43(27%)patients presented as less than 20 years, 32(20%) were between the age of 21-30 years range, 28(18%) patients were ranged between 31-40 years, 16(10%) patients aged in a range of 41-50 years while 39(25%) were above 50 years. Head injury severity was observed at 47% as mild head injury, 32% as moderate injury and 21% had a severe head injury while cervical injury in association with traumatic brain injury was found in 10% of patients. Conclusion: The prevalence of cervical traumatic injury associated with moderate to severe head injury remained similar in the world overall with minute differences in the percentages that we have noticed in our study. The severity of the head injury is directly proportional to cervical injury.
