Approximately half of those cases involves one or two segments of cervicothoracic vertebrae. We reported a 28-year-old female with tuberculous involvement of fourteen contiguous vertebral segments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 28-year-old female presented with tuberculous involvement of fourteen contiguous vertebral segments is presented. A series of radiographic and CT scan depicted multiple vertebral body destruction anteriorly, along with facet joint dislocation and mild retrolisthesis of C4-C5 segments. MR images of the cervical region was demonstrated pathologic contrast enhancement on C4 to T7 vertebrae, a total of fourteen contiguous segments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of all spinal tuberculosis, CTSTB accounts for only 5%. In addition to its rarity as a site for tuberculosis, the cervicothoracic junction has anatomical and clinical peculiarities, as a reversal of the mobile-lordotic cervical vertebrae to rigid-kyphotic thoracic vertebrae occurs at this location. Most CTSTB involves only two segments; however, in this case, we found a very extensive case wherein there were fourteen damaged segments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our report demonstrates one of the longest involvement of extensive contiguous CTSTB who was treated with one-stage posterior-only approach. However, as this is only a report of one case, further studies are required to investigate the safety and efficacy of such approach for treating extensive CTSTB.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.02.003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,6]],"date-time":"2020-02-06T11:50:58Z","timestamp":1580989858000},"page":"109-113","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["An unusual case of extensive contiguous cervicothoracic spinal tuberculosis involving fourteen damaged segments"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Ifran","family":"Saleh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Didik","family":"Librianto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phedy","family":"Phedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toto Suryo","family":"Efar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anissa Feby","family":"Canintika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-28-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1605","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-015-2778-7","article-title":"One-stage combined anterior-posterior approach treatment of multiple cervicothoracic spinal tuberculosis with kyphosis","volume":"39","author":"Zhang","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int.
