Abstract
We report the case of a man with an acute cervical cord lesion which was diagnosed after a teleconsultation with a neurologist at a distant neurological centre We show that the ability to assess patients clinically using real time videolinks is also of use in detecting those patients who would benefit from specialist neurosurgical intervention but who might otherwise be denied it because of their location
