Zusammenfassung:	Iatrogenic acute spinal cord injury with tetraplegia is a serious consequence of non-spinal surgery.We report a case of acute spinal cord injury with tetraplegia after thyroid surgery. The patient was pathologically diagnosed with papillary carcinoma, underwent left thyroidectomy, and developed tetraplegia after surgery. The patient was diagnosed with acute spinal cord injury with tetraplegia and cured after anti-inflammatory and dehydrating treatment. Iatrogenic spinal cord injuries after elective non-spinal surgery can have catastrophic consequences, and clinicians must be alert to this possibility in clinical practice.
