Abstract

A 61-year-old male patient with Wegener's granulomatosis was admitted due to neck pain and quadriparesis. Clinical evaluation showed severe cervical noninfectious spondylodiscitis, myelopathy, sagittal imbalance, and atlantoaxial instability. A combined anterior and posterior approach was implemented. Postoperative clinical evaluation showed improved neurologic status.
