Abstract
The authors report a rare case of spontaneous dystrophic thoracic spine dislocation in a 14-year-old boy
with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). Anteroposterior and lateral standing radiographs showed a dysplastic
kyphoscoliotic deformity, with the thoracic kyphosis and scoliosis measuring 75° and 69°, respectively.
Three-dimensional reconstruction after computed tomography demonstrated spondyloptosis at T5-T6 with
overlapping of T5 over T6 and T7. The patient underwent circumferential fusion with anterior fibular strut grafting
mechanically secured between the inferior and superior endplates of T5 and T7 followed by an instrumented
posterior fusion from T2 to L1 and thoracoplasty. There was satisfactory resolution of the deformity with
stabilization at the last follow-up evaluation.
