Cervical facet joint septic arthritis is particularly rare. Symptoms typically include spinal or paraspinal pain and tenderness, with severe infections potentially causing neurological impairments. This condition can progress to discitis and osteomyelitis. High clinical suspicion is required for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To present the first known case of cervical spine FJSA caused by Moraxella species and provide an updated narrative review of cervical spine FJSA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A case study of a 66\u2010year\u2010old male with cervical spine FJSA caused by Moraxella osloensis is detailed. Additionally, a librarian\u2010assisted literature search was conducted on MEDLINE Pubmed, filtering for adult human trials and including various study types, resulting in the inclusion of 9 relevant manuscripts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The patient\u2019s symptoms included neck, right upper thoracic, and periscapular pain, with episodes of numbness and tingling. MRI revealed septic arthritis at the C7\u2010T1 facet joint and associated osteomyelitis. Cultures identified Moraxella osloensis as the causative agent. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and experienced significant symptom improvement. Literature review highlights that Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative agent of cervical FJSA, with diagnosis typically involving MRI and culture tests. Treatment generally includes long\u2010term antibiotics, with some cases requiring surgical intervention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This report underscores the need for high clinical suspicion in diagnosing FJSA and highlights the importance of early intervention. It documents the first known case of cervical spine FJSA caused by Moraxella osloensis, contributing valuable information to the limited literature on this rare condition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/papr.13380","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,22]],"date-time":"2024-05-22T03:58:18Z","timestamp":1716350298000},"page":"1074-1078","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Septic arthritis of the cervical facet joint: Clinical report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6156-1605","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melanie","family":"Quoilin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston  Houston Texas USA"},{"name":"TIRR Memorial Hermann  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6056-7250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter D.","family":"Vu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston  Houston Texas USA"},{"name":"TIRR Memorial Hermann  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vishal","family":"Bansal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston  Houston Texas USA"},{"name":"TIRR Memorial Hermann  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason W.","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston  Houston Texas USA"},{"name":"TIRR Memorial Hermann  Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jocn.2019.11.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.297.13.1478"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semarthrit.2005.09.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.10.022"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","first-page":"182","article-title":"Cervical facet joint septic arthritis: a case report","volume":"30","author":"Stecher JM","year":"2010","journal-title":"Iowa Orthop J"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr\u20102016\u2010218510"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2011.12.041"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jgf2.181"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256\u2010015\u20100651\u20103"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbspin.2007.02.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2001.95.1.0135"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","first-page":"237","article-title":"Cervical facet joint infection and associated epidural abscess with Streptococcus intermedius from a dental infection origin a case report and review","volume":"74","author":"Kaye ID","year":"2016","journal-title":"Bull Hosp Jt Dis (2013)"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.bsd.0000211234.68469.92"}],"container-title":["Pain Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/papr.13380","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,11]],"date-time":"2024-11-11T11:31:32Z","timestamp":1731324692000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/papr.13380"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,21]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/papr.13380"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/papr.13380","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1530-7085","1533-2500"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1530-7085","type":"print"},{"value":"1533-2500","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,21]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-08-07","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-04-30","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-05-21","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
