    Summary

    Surgical treatment combining decompression, stabilization, and antibiotics effectively treated craniovertebral spondylitis. This approach restored spinal cord function and promoted bone healing in patients with inflammatory spinal lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Infectious Disease

    Background:

    • Craniovertebral spondylitis presents significant challenges due to its location and potential for neurological compromise.
    • Nonspecific and tuberculous etiologies require distinct management strategies, often involving complex surgical interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the outcomes of a specific surgical technique for craniovertebral junction spondylitis.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of a two-step surgical approach combined with antimicrobial therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-step surgical procedure involving occipitospondylodesis followed by transpharyngeal abscess sanitation and anterior stabilization with an autograft.
    • Decompressive and stabilizing operations were performed on 6 patients.
    • Adjunctive bactericidal therapy was administered.

    Main Results:

    • Successful recovery of spinal cord function was observed in all patients.
    • Formation of a bony union at the site of the spinal inflammatory lesion was achieved.
    • The combined surgical and medical approach yielded positive clinical outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The described surgical treatment, coupled with bactericidal therapy, is an effective strategy for managing craniovertebral spondylitis.
    • This method facilitates spinal cord function recovery and promotes osseous fusion in affected spinal segments.
