Asymptomatic spondylolisthesis and pregnancy.
The patient was a 32-year-old woman diagnosed with grade III spondylolisthesis at the age of 18. While the patient had not experienced back pain in recent years, she anticipated a recurrence of symptoms during her final trimester of pregnancy. Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging was used to confirm the presence of grade IV spondylolisthesis. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2010;40(5):324. doi:10.2519/jospt.2010.0407.
