Abstract
A case of fluorotic cervical compressive myelopathy precipitated by tr auma is reported. The delayed neurological deterioration was due to a posttraumatic pseudomenincocele, the prompt treatment of which resulte d in recovery. Post-traumatic pseudomeningocele is very rare; and cert ainly so in fluorosis, and thus has not been reported in the literatur e to date.
