Résumé
An 11-year-old girl with intact neurology presented with a lumbosacral kyphotic deformity due to healed tuberculosis. Radiological imaging showed sagittal balanced spine with compensatory thoracic lordosis and cervical kyphosis. She underwent L4 and L5 posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) with posterior instrumentation from L2 to pelvis. The patient demonstrated immediate correction of compensatory curves postoperatively. At 3-year follow-up, she returned to her activities of daily living with Oswestry Disability Index and Scoliosis Research Society scores of 12 and 4.8% respectively. Pediatric post-tubercular deformities in the lumbosacral region are rare. They can cause secondary changes in other regions, such as the loss of thoracic kyphosis or cervical lordosis. These deformities should be addressed at an early age to prevent structural changes in compensatory curves.
