Abstract EN
We present a case of a rare cause of cervical spine injury and quadriplegia, an injury secondary to break dancing.
A nineteen-year-old male presented with quadriplegia; he sustained an injury while performing “break dancing”.
To our knowledge, it is the first case of cervical spine injury reported after break dance in GCC states.
Cervical injuries and quadriplegia secondary to break dancing have rarely been described.
Compared to other forms of recreational dance, break dancing may cause serious, life-threatening injuries.
