Abstract

Spondylolisthesis is the slippage of of a vertebral body with the adjacent one below. This disorder is a relative common at the lumbar spine. Scoliosis in children having spondylolisthesis has been mentioned in literature with the prevalence of 4% - 8% and the incidence of scoliosis associated with spondylolisthesis is about 15% - 43%. However, there is a lot of controversies and no consensus about the optimal treatment for these deformities. We would like to update the literature review and share an interesting case done surgery by our teamwork.
