There have been reports of some surgical cases of the progressive, destructive spondylitis associated with SAPHO syndrome, wherein the destructive spondylitis was considered to have developed due to the progression of spondylitis with SAPHO syndrome as the pathogenic bacteria were not isolated. We herein report a surgical case of destructive cervical spondylitis associated with SAPHO syndrome. A 54-year-old woman with a history of palmoplantar pustulosis suffered severe neck pain for 6\u2009months. Radiography and computeed tomography showed sclerosed and collapsed cervical vertebrae, and the patient was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and management upon suspicion of infection or spondylitis with SAPHO syndrome. For the severe neck pain and progressive destruction of cervical vertebrae, we performed posterior fusion surgery with subsequent anterior fusion. Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) was isolated by enrichment culture with thioglycolate broth from both the anterior and the posterior tissue samples. We diagnosed pyogenic spondylitis secondary to C. acnes infection and administered doxycycline for 6\u2009weeks after the first surgery. The neck pain was resolved and cervical fusion was achieved one year postoperatively. C. acnes infection could elicit destructive spondylitis. An enrichment culture should be performed to isolate the pathogenic bacteria in cases of destructive spondylitis with SAPHO syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mrcr\/rxac035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,23]],"date-time":"2022-04-23T09:39:37Z","timestamp":1650706777000},"page":"267-270","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Destructive cervical spondylitis due to <i>Cutibacterium acnes<\/i> with synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome: A case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7527-2463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryunosuke","family":"Oyama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University , Fukuoka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1720-407X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keiichiro","family":"Iida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University , Fukuoka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hirokazu","family":"Saiwai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University , Fukuoka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Matsumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University , Fukuoka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuharu","family":"Nakashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University , Fukuoka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023010315512051400_R1","first-page":"187","article-title":"Acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis syndrome.
