[A case of accidental hypothermia caused by cervical spinal cord injury].

Accidental hypothermia is the state in which body temperature falls due for exposure to a chilly environment. In accidental hypothermia, the mortality rate is higher the lower the body temperature. We report a case of a consciousness disorder and severe hypothermia, with a body temperature below 28 degrees C, in which it later became clear that a cervical spinal cord injury had been caused by a small external force.
