Abstract
|
|
|
|
Charcot spinal arthropathy (CSA) is a rare progressive disorder that occurs after the loss of neuroprotective sensation and proprioceptive perception. Although its etiology is unclear, studies have suggested that it is primarily caused by spinal cord injuries, and diabetes mellitus, syringomyelia, tertiary syphilis, and Parkinson's disease. Here, we describe a case of a 71-year-old woman with CSA without any risk factors. We report that CSA could occur without any prominent presentations or risk factors and may initially be misdiagnosed as pyogenic spondylitis.
