Se presenta un caso de cifosis cervical progresiva en un paciente adolescente de 14 años que fue remitido a nuestra unidad con siete meses de evolución, tras un antecedente de hiperflexión por zambullida. Clínicamente presentaba dolor, actitud antiálgica y limitación de la movilidad. El estudio radiográfico mostró una cifosis cervical C2-C4. Ante la progresión radiográfica de la cifosis (48º) y la limitación funcional, se decidió la estabilización quirúrgica por vía posterior, realizando una artrodesis C2-C4 utilizando el Halifax clamp y aporte de injerto antólogo. Tras dos años de seguimiento, el paciente se encuentra asintomático, con una cifosis residual de 18º (C2-C4), que no limita clínicamente la flexión y extensión completas.
A 14-year-old boy with progressive cervical kyphosis is reported. The patient was remitted to our hospital 7 months after a diving accident. Clinically, he showed pain, antialgic position and limited mobility. The radiological study showed cervical kyphosis C2-C4. Due to kyphotic radiographic progression (48º) and functional limitation, surgical stabilization through a posterior approach was decide, performing C2-C4 arthrodesis with Halifax Clamp and bone graft. After two years of follow-up, the patient is asympthomatic with 18º remnant kyphosis that clinically does not limit full flexion and extension.
