Abstract
A 47-year-old woman with chronic pyelonephritis since 1950 was prepared for hemodialysis or kidney transplantation. Investigation disclosed secondary hyperparathyroidism and an osteolytic lesion in C VII and Th I causing a subluxation. There were minor neurological symptoms and apparent risk of luxation of the cervical spine with resulting injury to the spinal cord. Operation was performed with total parathyroidectomy and excision of the bone tumor, followed by fixation of the cervical spine with bone graft. There were no major complications during the postoperative period and the patient was mobilized four months after the operation.Keywords
