A Family with Spondylolisthesis

Radiology, 1970
Abstract Four cases of spondylolisthesis were discovered within one family. In 3, the condition was asymptomatic and undiagnosed until seen on roentgenography. These cases appear to support the concept of spondylolisthesis as the result of an inherent defect in the architecture of the spine.

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2002
The diagnosis and appropriate management of spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis in the athlete can be challenging for the treating orthopaedic surgeon.

Spondylolisthesis in Myelomeningocele

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1994
Radiographic spinal evaluations were done on 305 patients with myelodysplasia. Asymptomatic spondylolisthesis, which averaged 37.1% translation, was seen in 5.9% of the patients. The prevalence of spondylolisthesis increased to 15.6% of patients with L5-S1 motor levels. Patients with myelodysplasia do develop spondylolisthesis.
