The patient was transferred to Georgetown University Medical Center with C-5 quadriplegia 3 weeks after having been injured in an automobile collision.<\/jats:p><jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">The neurosurgical issues in this case included addressing a rare cervical spine injury, assessing and treating a vertebral artery injury, and performing surgery on a pregnant minor with severe anemia who held strong Jehovah's Witness beliefs. An ethics consultation was convened to determine the validity of a pregnant minor's refusal to undergo transfusion on the grounds of her religious beliefs.<\/jats:p><jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">This case illustrates the potential benefits of thorough technical and ethical evaluations and reveals how they may contribute to the delivery of care in complex neurosurgical cases.<\/jats:p><jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">To the authors' knowledge, this is the first two-level spondyloptotic cervical spine fracture dislocation to be reported in the literature. The added complexities of the case, given that the patient was an anemic, adolescent, pregnant Jehovah's Witness who refused blood transfusion, also appear to be unprecedented.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1997.87.3.0458","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,10]],"date-time":"2009-06-10T18:18:10Z","timestamp":1244657890000},"page":"458-463","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Spondyloptotic fracture of the cervical spine in a pregnant, anemic Jehovah's Witness: technical and ethical considerations"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Frank","family":"Feigenbaum","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel P.","family":"Sulmasy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edmund D.","family":"Pellegrino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fraser C.","family":"Henderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-198200710-00001"},{"key":"b2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1985.63.4.0510"},{"key":"b3","unstructured":"Application of President and Director of Georgetown College, Inc. 118 App. D.C. 80, 331 F.2d 1000, reh. en banc denied, 118 App. D.C. 90, 331 F.2d 1010, cert. denied, 337 U.S. 978 (1964).Fed Report 331 (Series 2):1000, 1010"},{"key":"b4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"651","DOI":"10.1148\/15.3.651","volume":"115","author":"Davidson KC","year":"1975","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"b7","first-page":"63","volume-title":"Encyclopedia of Bioethics","author":"Holder AR","year":"1995","edition":"2"},{"key":"b8","unstructured":"In re E.G., a Minor (The People of the State of Illinois, Appellant v.
