Resumen (ES)

A 14-year-old boy with progressive cervical kyphosis is reported. The patient was remitted to our hospital 7 month after a driving accident. Clinically, he showed pain, antialgic position and limitted mobility. The radiological study showed cervical kyphosis C2-C4. Due to kyphotic radiographic progression (48°) and functional limitation, surgical estabilization through a posterior approach was decided, performing C2-C4 arthrodesis with Halifax Clamp and bone graft. After two years of follow-up, the patient is asympthomatic with 18° remnant kyphosis that clinically does not limit full flexión and extension.
