Congenital cervical isthmic spondylolisthesis: A case report

BACKGROUND: There are only 20 reported cases of cervical isthmic spondylolisthesis in literature that have been surgically managed either anteriorly or posteriorly. Herein, we report such a case managed with circumferential fusion. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 27-year-old male became progressively quadripare...

description BACKGROUND: There are only 20 reported cases of cervical isthmic spondylolisthesis in literature that have been surgically managed either anteriorly or posteriorly. Herein, we report such a case managed with circumferential fusion. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 27-year-old male became progressively quadriparetic due to cervical isthmic spondylolisthesis at the C6–C7 level. Removal of the posterior arch of C6 with subsequent C5–C7 pedicle screw/rod fixation and anterior interbody fusion resulted in marked recovery and adequate cervical realignment. CONCLUSION: For patients with cervical isthmic spondylolisthesis, circumferential fusion provides the best surgical option to achieve stability and sagittal balance.
