Spine deformities could be considered a possible manifestation of the childhood hypotonia, typical feature of Kleefstra Syndrome (KS). There is a paucity of literature describing posterior spinal fusion in the Kleefstra syndrome patient. For patients who develop severe scoliotic curve, bracing is often ineffective and surgery is recommended. We report the first corrective surgery for scoliosis in one patient with KS. We describe a case of 13-year-old female with severe developmental scoliosis in KS. Preoperative examination showed a thoracolumbar scoliosis with left convex thoracic curve (T3-T9, 97°) and right convex thoracolumbar curve (T9-L3, 88°). Posterior correction, pedicle screw fixation and bone graft fusion T3-L5 was performed. Postoperatively, the thoracic curve was corrected to 33° while the thoracolumbar one to 26° and better standing posture was obtained. Six month follow-up images showed no loosening of the hardware. The patient is still in our follow-up program. Scoliosis seems to be a rare evenience of the severe hypotonia of patients with KS. We report the first case of scoliosis in KS treated successfully with surgery. Corrective surgery for spinal deformity, such as scoliosis, could help in posture and improve the quality of life especially in complicated patients such as syndromic ones.Non-traumatic vertebral fractures occurring as a sole consequence of the violent muscle forces generated during the first episode of a GTCS(generalized tonic clonic seizure) in a previously healthy non-epileptic individual are very rare. Being clinically asymptomatic they are easily overseen at the time of initial presentation due to their rarity of occurrence and the presence of potentially distracting factors in the post-ictal phase. We present a 52-year-old healthy non-epileptic male who presented with unrelenting back pain and neurodeficit secondary to a four-month-old unstable burst fracture of the first lumbar vertebra sustained during an isolated single episode of a witnessed GTCS. A detailed inquiry revealed no history of a significant traumatic event either during the convulsive episode or thereafter. A meticulous history taking, a thorough clinical and neurological examination combined with a comprehensive radiological evaluation established the unusual etiology of the fracture and the presence of a otherwise healthy non-epileptic individual with normal BMD and no seizure-provoking risk factors. This is the first case report of a delayed unrelated presentation of a non-traumatic lumbar vertebral fracture with complications (spinal deformity and neurodeficit) consequent to a remote episode of a single convulsive seizure. It emphasizes the need for a high index of clinical suspicion,a meticulous history taking, thorough musculoskeletal and neurological examination in any individual presenting with a seemingly benign back pain following a remote isolated episode of seizure, even in the absence of overt trauma. A detailed radiological evaluation guided by a meticulous history taking and detailed clinical examination is essential to rule out a fracture unless proven otherwise. It also shows that a single convulsive seizure can result in a potentially unstable fracture that when neglected, can result in devastating complications like spinal deformity and neurodeficit. Level IV.Level IV.Rosai Dorfman disease (RDD) also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is a rare non-malignant proliferative disorder of unknown etiology. Here we present a case of Rosai Dorfman disease of the spine causing lumbo-sacral radiculopathy. 5-Ph-IAA concentration CT and MRI revealed lytic expansile lesion in the left half of L4 vertebra mainly involving posterior aspect involving left pedicle and transverse process. Patient underwent surgery at L3-4 level by left fenestration. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Rosai Dorfman disease. Skeletal involvement is a very rare presentation seen in 2% case with involvement of long bones including tibia, femur, humerus, clavicle and bones of hand. RDD affecting the spine has been rarely reported in literature. A team approach involving the radiologist, spine surgeon, pathologist and oncologist will lead to the early diagnosis and appropriate management of this rare clinical entity. is a nutritional variant of streptococcus (NVS), which has been rarely reported as an etiologic agent in spondylodiscitis (SD). We report a case of a 51-year-old male with from chronic low-back pain associated with right sciatica and ipsilateral monoparesis. Spinal MRI showed radiological signs on L1-L2 and L5-S1 discs consistent with SD. We also performed a systematic review of the pertinent literature in order to retrieve all the key information regarding microbiological and clinical features. Including our patients, seven cases with a mean age 56 ± 10.2 years were reported in English literature. Six patients were conservatively managed with antibiotic therapy (66%), whereas three with surgery in combination with antibiotics (33%). An endocarditis was associated in three cases, and a pacemaker infection in one. All patients received targeted antibiotic therapy resulting in a quick improvement of clinical symptoms with favorable outcome. Our case is the only with a skip spontaneous SD, which needed a surgical decompression due to the associated neurological symptoms. This incidence of SD sustained by could be underestimated due to their particular microbiological conditions requested for their cultures. However, this infection should be suspected in cases of culture-negative SD, especially when associated with endocarditis.This incidence of SD sustained by Granulicatella adiances could be underestimated due to their particular microbiological conditions requested for their cultures. However, this infection should be suspected in cases of culture-negative SD, especially when associated with endocarditis. Retrospective Cohort Study. Low back pain (LBP) and radiculopathy present a significant burden to patients and healthcare systems. Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) is associated with LBP. While the prevalence of LDD in older, symptomatic, patients has been extensively documented there has been little describing the prevalence in younger patients. 1011 patients aged 20-30 years, who had undergone Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), for investigation of LBP and or radiculopathy, over a 9-year period were identified. Those who had previous surgery, congenital deformities or unavailable imaging were excluded. A single surgeon evaluated the MRI images of 730 patients and classified each lumbar disc according to the Pfirrmann classification. 105 randomly selected patient's imaging was reviewed again by the primary reviewer and by a consultant musculoskeletal radiologist with the kappa coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater agreement calculated. Of the 730 patients, 428 (58.6%) had MRI evidence of LDD (Pfirrmann III, IV, V).
