ABSTRACT
Cervical spine fracture can occur in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by even a minor trauma, which can lead to serious results. We report on the case of a 52-year-old male patient suffering from AS, who was admitted to our hospital with cardiac arrest due to fracture of the upper cervical spine without other organ injuries. A computed tomographic scan showed a cervical 2-3 level fracture and posterior dislocation of the upper cervical column. The patient was admitted to ICU, but died in hospital on day 3.
