%X Background</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">:</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> Spondylodiscitis is a spinal infection rare affecting primarily the
intervertebral disk and the adjacent vertebral bodies. His diagnosis is
difficult and often delayed or missed due to the rarity of the disease.</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">Cervical
spondylodiscitis has quite rare findings regarding the common location of
spinal abscesses in the lumbar and thoracic regions.</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">To
obtain the best patient outcomes, these spinal infections require prompt
diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Case description</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">: </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">A
44-year-old boy was admitted to the neurosurgery department of our hospital for
heaviness in 4 limbs without gait disorders in context infected tracheostomy
after staying in intensive care. MRI spine showed a spine deformity with lyse
C4C5 epiduritis and spinal cord compressed. Antibiotics intravenous were
started for 1 month the patient benefited from a corpectomy with an iliac graft
and anterior cervical plate. The anatomopathological examination revealed an
inflammation not specific.&nbsp; He was therefore
put on antibiotics for 6 weeks. Three months later the neck pain and limb pain
resolved after treatment and a complete return of lower extremity strength.</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">Conclusion</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">: </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">Cervical
spondylodiscitis has increased and become more aggressive. While radical
surgical debridement, stable reconstruction together with antibiotic therapy
remained a reliable approach to achieve complete healing of the inflammation,
anterior alone surgery became more applicable.
