Abstrakt:	Contiguous spinous process fractures are an extremely rare event with only a few cases described in the literature. They are usually stable lesions treated with analgesic medication, immobilization, physical activity restriction for 4 to 6 weeks and close surveillance. These fractures appear to have a significant risk of nonunion, despite the good reported results. We report a case of a 61 years-old male patient who suffered eight contiguous spinous process fractures following a tractor accident.
