摘要

BACKGROUND The correction surgery for severely multidimensional spinal deformity in neurofibromatosis type I is very difficult and it is still a very big challenge for spine surgeons.CASE SUMMARY A 44-year-old woman presented with progressive kyphosis for more than 10 years and low back pain for 2 years.She had been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis at a local hospital many years ago.Conservative treatments had been applied,but the symptoms got worse rather than alleviated.Therefore,surgery was required.CONCLUSION For this patient with severe deformity,the correction treatment of Ponte osteotomy followed by satellite rod technique in the region of the apical vertebra and the technique of pedicle screws and dual iliac screws had been applied,and successful clinical outcomes were achieved.
