Abstract

Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition that affects the lower vertebrae (spinal bones). This disease causes one of the lower vertebrae to slip forward onto the bone directly beneath it. It is a painful condition but treatable in most cases. We have described an unusual case of multilevel lytic spondylolisthesis in a patient presenting with back pain and neurogenic claudication. The patient underwent an uneventful post-operative recovery. At a recent follow-up, 3 months after the surgery, the symptoms of the patient were significantly improved. The patient was ambulating without aid and did not complain of any leg symptoms.
Keywords: Spondylolisthesis, Vertebrae, Lytic spondylolisthesis, Spinal, Neurogenic, Claudication
