This scenario covers the traumatic head and cervical spinal cord injury. Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the surrounding tissue such as the ligaments, muscles and skeletal structure could not withstand an external force caused by trauma. The prevalence of SCI out of all the trauma patients is low as 1.6%, but the great care is needed due to high morbidity and mortality. Delayed diagnosis of SCI can exacerbate damage, if it is not appropriate fixed. The diagnosis of Physical examination of an unstable SCI is hard when the patient had the associated head injury. In this scenario, the learner could experience of the neurologic symptoms of SCI with or without the associated head injury.
