The recommended treatment is an open reduction, spinal cord decompression, and a proximal extension of spinal instrumentation. To report the diagnosis and management of an acute non-traumatic T1-T2 fracture-dislocation, occurring in the early postoperative course of a posterior instrumentation and fusion for neurogenic scoliosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case report:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 12-year-old spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (CP) male patient, who underwent an uneventful T2-S1 instrumentation for scoliosis, presented to the emergency department (ED) 2 weeks later, with mild fever, urinary retention, fecaloma and hypotonia of the 4 limbs, of few days duration. His parents reported no history of trauma and denied epileptic seizures. Atypical cervicothoracic spastic movements the night preceding his symptoms were the only relevant events of the patient's history. CT and MRI were both suggestive of a complete T1-T2 fracture-dislocation and spinal cord compromise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The patient underwent immediate posterior decompression with wide lamino-arthrectomy, open reduction and proximal extension of his posterior instrumentation to C5.
