Where this comes from

Abstract

Penetrating spinal injuries from foreign bodies are an exceedingly rare pathological entity. In this report we present an unusual clinical report of an in-driven shard of glass in the cervical spine that remained without symptoms for many years and became symptomatic possibly because of narrowing of the diameter of the vertebral canal.
