BACKGROUND: @entity5145 ( @entity5145 ) is one of the major complications in @entity1 undergoing long-term hemodialysis. To the best of our knowledge, an @entity7181 occurring at the level of preexisting cervical @entity5145 has not been well described in the literature. We report a unique case of @entity1688 caused by an @entity7181 occurring at the same level of preexisting cervical @entity5145 . CASE PRESENTATION: A 49-year-old @entity1 was transferred to our emergency department with 5  days of @entity295 , @entity1032 , and @entity1688 below the C5 level. The @entity1 had a medical history of hemodialysis for 10  years. Magnetic resonance imaging showed @entity1745 by an @entity7181 at the level of preexisting cervical @entity5145 . Blood culture revealed @entity3256 -sensitive @entity794 . Infection of the arteriovenous (AV) shunt was considered as the primary focus of @entity295 and @entity1511 . We performed an emergent open door laminoplasty and the vascular team debrided the infected AV shunt site. Approximately 8  months after surgery, the @entity1 was able to perform activities of daily living somewhat independently. CONCLUSIONS: Emergent surgical decompression and intensive medical care led to successful recovery from a septic and quadriplegic state in this @entity1 . When diagnosing a @entity1 who has undergone long-term hemodialysis presenting with @entity51 , the possibility of @entity1511 at the same level as @entity5145 should be considered.
