Abstract

We present a case that had two separate facet joints on the same side causing an intervertebral instability. The embryological pathogenesis of the congenital existence of two separate facet joints on the same side of the vertebra is not conclusively known. A 68-year-old woman presented with lower back pain and severe left leg pain. Neuroradiological evaluation including dynamic plain radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine revealed the existence of two separate facet joints on the same side of the first sacral vertebra, severe degenerative changes of both right and left L5-S1 facet joints, and Grade II L5-S1 spondylolisthesis. Subsequently, she underwent surgery. Intraoperatively, two separate facet joints on the same side of the first sacral vertebra were confirmed. The patient's symptoms were resolved after decompression and fusion surgery. This is a unique case of the congenital existence of two separate facet joints on the same side of the first sacral vertebra.

Özet

İki ayrı faset eklemin aynı tarafta bulunması nedeniyle vertebral instabilite gelişen bir vaka sunulmuştur. Konjenital olarak vertebranın aynı tarafında iki ayrı faset eklemin bulunmasının embriyolojik patogenezi tam olarak bilinmemektedir. 68 yaşında kadın bel ağrısı ve şiddetli sol bacak ağrısı ile başvurmuştur. Nöroradyolojik incelemelerinde, lumbosakral vertebranın dinamik düz grafileri, bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleri incelenmiş olup birinci sakral vertebranın aynı tarafında iki ayrı faset eklemin bulunduğu, L5-S1 bilateral faset eklemlerinde şiddetli dejeneratif değişikliklerin bulunduğu ve Grade II L5-S1 spondilolistezis saptanmıştır. Takiben hasta opere edilmiştir. Operasyonda birinci sakral vertebranın aynı tarafında iki ayrı faset eklemin bulunduğu görülmüştür. Hastanın semptomları dekompresyon ve füzyon ameliyatı sonrasında düzelmiştir. Vakamız birinci sakral vertebranın aynı tarafında iki ayrı faset eklemin bulunduğu bildirilmiş olan tek vakadır.
