A RA patient with double-level isthmic spondylolisthesis showed a progressive destructive lesion. In addition to clinical presentations, the imaging findings were very similar to ones of spinal neuroarthropathy. The authors conclude that this Grand Round case probably had SNA secondary to RA and that this, combined with two-level isthmic spondylolisthesis, resulted in her rapidly progressing destructive lumbar lesion.
