Abstract EN
A 76-year-old man presented with a Denis Zone III sacral fracture after a traffic accident.
He also developed urinary retention and perineal numbness.
The patient was diagnosed with neurogenic bladder dysfunction caused by the sacral fracture.
A computed tomogram (CT) revealed that third sacral lamina was fractured and displaced into the spinal canal, but vertebral body did not displace.
The fracture lines began at the center of lamina and extended bilateraly.
The fracture pattern was unique.
The sacrum was osteoporosis, and this fracture may be based on osteoporosis.
We performed laminectomy to decompress sacral nerve roots.
One month after surgery, the patient was able to urinate.
Three months after surgery, his bladder function recovered normally.
One year after surgery, he returned to a normal daily life and had no complaints regarding urination.
One-year postoperative CT showed the decompressed third sacrum without displacement.
