Proteus syndrome is a rare overgrowth disease that causes symptoms such as scoliosis and spinal stenosis. We report a case of a 35-year-old male patient who underwent multiple zygapophyseal joint injections for the treatment of severe back pain caused by PS, highlighting the utility of interventional spinal procedures in managing pain in PS patients.
Proteus syndrome (PS) is a rare overgrowth disease process with only a few hundred cases being reported in the literature. Abnormal formation of the vertebral bodies causing scoliosis and spinal stenosis are common features that lead to debilitating pain in these patients. We present a case of a 35-year-old male landscaper with a history of PS causing severe scoliosis and vertebral overgrowth who underwent recurrent sets of multilevel zygapophyseal joint injections for management of his axial back pain. This case illustrates the utility of interventional spinal procedures in patients with progressive pain from PS.
