The beginning of 21 century was marked by an enormous increase in the number of traffic accidents, which led to an increasing number of multiple injured patients with associated injuries, especially injuries of cervical spine, because of its anatomical features. Even in the era of modern diagnostic procedures, cervical spine injuries are still often overlooked, especially in multiple injured patients and unconscious patients, and the consequences of undiagnosed injuries can be fatal. Very often there are ligamentous lesions, which can be detected only by using NMR, while the osteoarticular lesions can be diagnosed through careful clinical examination, X-rays and CT scan. This paper presents the case of female in the middle age with initially missed injury of the lower cervical spine segments, sustained in a car accident as a driver, with excellent results of treatment and complete recovery.
