  • Title: A unique approach to fixed occipito-cervico-thoracic deformity.
    Author: Aw GE, Mobbs RJ.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2013 Apr; 20(4):608-11. PubMed ID: 23313528.
    Abstract:
    We discuss a unique approach to a patient who presented with severe kyphosis and laterolisthesis of the cranio-cervico-thoracic spine, following a history of neck trauma 24months prior to presentation. The patient had organized voluntary euthanasia if no treatment could be performed. Our approach included a three-part procedure over a 3-week time interval, including: initial traction, division of anterior neck muscles, multilevel anterior fusion and, finally, posterior occipito-cervico-thoracic fusion. Follow-up at 6months revealed a patient in neutral sagittal and coronal balance of the neck.
