ABSTRACT
CASE We present a 64-year-old woman with loss of lumbar lordosis with a preoperative computed tomography scan demonstrating the presence of an intrapelvic kidney with aberrant vasculature. A 2-level anterior lumbar interbody fusion with a 2-level oblique interbody fusion was planned. An anterior approach was successfully used to access the anterior spine without damaging the pelvic kidney. CONCLUSION:
Anatomic variations, both congenital and acquired, can pose significant challenges to surgeons during their dissection. We present a case where multilevel anterior interbody cage placement can be safely performed, even in a patient whose anatomy is complicated by an intrapelvic kidney.
