Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and its connective tissue laxity often result in high-grade lumbosacral spondylolisthesis. Patients present with debilitating symptoms and neurological deficits. Reports of surgical techniques in non-EDS patients for the treatment of high-grade lumbosacral spondylolisthesis mainly described an open approach, multilevel fusions, and multiple stages with different circumferential approaches. Sagittal adjusting screws (SASs) can be used in a minimally invasive (MI) fashion, allowing intraoperative reduction.
OBSERVATIONS: A 17-year-old female with EDS presented to the authors' institute with severe lower back and left L5 radicular pain in 2017. She presented with a left foot drop and difficulty ambulating. Magnetic resonance imaging showed grade IV L5-S1 spondylolisthesis. She underwent lumbar fusion for intractable back pain with radiculopathy. Intraoperatively, percutaneous SASs and extension towers were used to distract the L5-S1 disc space and reduce the spondylolisthesis. MI transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion was completed with significant symptomatic relief postoperatively. The patient was discharged to home 3 days postoperatively. Routine follow-up visits up to 3 years later demonstrated solid fusion radiographically and favorable patient-reported outcomes.
LESSONS: The authors used SASs in a MI approach to successfully correct and stabilize grade IV spondylolisthesis in an EDS patient with a favorable long-term patient-reported outcome.
