Rare manifestation of common disease with an unique method of minimally invasive spine stabilization: Cervical 2–3 facet lesion

Abstract

Cervical granulomatous infections of the posterior elements are very rare, it is often difficult to diagnose due to rarity and variable presentation of symptoms. Any cervical surgical procedure carries a certain morbid risk to the patient. We present a case of cervical 2–3 facet joint lesion which was managed by a minimally invasive technique with a favorable outcome.
