Introduction Cultural and socioeconomic factors influence the risk of sustaining a Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI). The standard of management and rehabilitation available to TSCI patients differs greatly between high-income and low-income countries. Case presentation We report a 17-year-old male bird hunter, with no prior medical history, presenting with paraplegia and sensory loss from the xiphoid process down after being struck by an arrow in the left lateral side of the neck. Discussion Penetrating neck injuries are potentially life threatening because of the complex arrangement of vital structures in the neck. Management of spinal cord trauma resulting from such injuries in low-resource settings is challenging.

坦桑尼亚农村的一名猎鸟者因脊髓穿透性损伤而截瘫。

简介文化和社会经济因素影响持续创伤性脊髓损伤 (TSCI) 的风险。高收入国家和低收入国家之间 TSCI 患者可获得的治疗和康复标准差异很大。病例介绍我们报告了一名 17 岁的男性猎鸟者，没有既往病史，在颈部左侧被箭击中后出现截瘫和剑突以下感觉丧失。讨论由于颈部重要结构的复杂排列，颈部穿透伤可能会危及生命。在资源匮乏的环境中，对此类损伤造成的脊髓损伤进行治疗具有挑战性。
