Modified posterior vertebral column resection for Kümmell disease: Case report.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2017 Februrary
RATIONALE: Kümmell's disease is defined as delayed traumatic vertebral collapse disease in which patients develop a kyphosis after asymptomatic minor spinal trauma. Both anterior approach and posterior approach have been reported, however, there is no standard treatment for Kümmell's disease.
PATIENT CONCERNS: We described a successful modified posterior vertebral column resection in a patient with Kümmell's disease. A 65-year-old woman reported persistent back pain for almost three months.
DIAGNOSES: Kümmell's disease was diagnosed based on computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
INTERVENTIONS: Modified posterior vertebral column resection combined with short-segment fixation was designed to treat this disease.
OUTCOMES: The procedure was successful without any complications. Patient reported that symptoms were obviously improved in one week after operation.
LESSONS: Modified posterior vertebral column resection combined with short-segment fixation is an effective treatment option for Kümmell's disease.
