- Air-gun pellet injuries can be serious in children aged 1-18, potentially harming vital organs like the brain, heart, and eyes; spine injuries are less frequently documented.

Acute traumatic cervical spondyloptosis in neurologically intact patients is uncommon and involvement of the cervicothoracic junction is rare. Herein, we report a case of traumatic C7-T1 spondyloptosis in a 56-year-old neurologically intact male patient, with radiographic findings of C7-T1 grade V traumatic listhesis associated with C7 floating segment, cord compression with myelomalacia, extensive ligamentum injury, and intervertebral disc traumatic change and protrusion. He underwent global spine fixation starting with a posterior approach.
