In this paper, we prove that if M^2 is a complete maximal spacelike surface of an anti-de Sitter space {\bf H}^{4}_{2}(c) with constant scalar curvature, then S=0, S={-10c\over 11}, S={-4c\over 3} or S=-2c, where S is the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M^{2}. Also

(1) S=0 if and only if M^2 is the totally geodesic surface {\bf H}^2(c);

(2) S={-4c\over 3} if and only if M^2 is the hyperbolic Veronese surface;

(3) S=-2c if and only if M^2 is the hyperbolic cylinder of the totally geodesic

surface {\bf H}^{3}_{1}(c) of {\bf H}^{4}_{2}(c).
