Abstract

The authors report one case of cervical Pott's disease located in C5 and associated with neurological disorders. Following corrections of the spinal disaxation, they advocate a per priman posterior fixation which will ensure spinal stability. This will be followed secondarily by an operation through an anterior approach.
