There were studied up the morphofunctional changes of vertebral motor segments in 21 patients with vertebral osteochondropathy as well as with initial spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis. The patients were from 12 to 21 years old, the average follow-up was 4.5 years. In vertebral deformity in sagittal plane the spondylolystic spondylolisthesis was not revealed in patients, and in particular the leading clinical sign presented was the syndrome of spondyloarthrosis on the level of compensational hyperlordosis; in vertebral osteochondropathy with preserved or the smoothed physiologic vertebral curvatures--dysplastic spondylolisthesis with early occurrence of hyperplastic spondyloarthrosis as a consequence of the Schmorl's hernia in middle lumbar vertebral segments and of instability of the lower lumbar segments due to vertebral sliding shift with subsequent occurrence of hyperplastic spondyloarthrosis predominantly on these levels. The presence of hyperplastic spondyloarthrosis in lower lumbar vertebral segments while overextension causes the risk rise of the vertebral canal stenosis occurrence.

A 59-year-old female patient with mitral valve prolapse and a previous history of lumbosacral spondyloarthrosis and lumbar disk hernia had an episode of infective endocarditis due to Streptococcus viridans, which evolved with peripheral embolism to the left kidney, spleen, and left iliac artery, and intraventricular cerebral hemorrhage. Her clinical manifestations were low back pain and hematuria, which were initially attributed to an osteoarticular condition. Infective endocarditis is a severe polymorphic disease with multiple clinical manifestations and it should always be included in the differential diagnosis by clinicians.
