概要 | Charcot spinal arthropathy (CSA) is a very rare condition that causes destruction and deformity of the spine due to impaired sensation. We report a case of an infected Charcot spine arthropathy (ICSA) treatment with spinal reconstruction surgery using a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique. A 49-year-old man who had a spinal cord injury (SCI) at age 19 presented with a destructive lesion in the L2/3 and a fistula in his lower back. Spinal reconstruction surgery using a penetrating endplate screw, lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), and a computer-assisted rod bending system were performed. A CT scan taken six months after surgery showed bony fusion. Reconstruction of the destructive spine is necessary to control the infection and symptoms due to kyphotic deformity for ICSA. Although the treatment of ICSA generally requires a highly invasive approach, we have achieved good clinical results with minimally invasive reconstructive surgery. |
