Taruna Penmetcha , Gunar Subieta*

Background: Spondylolisthesis is a frequent cause of low back pain but is seldomly associated with infectious causes and multisystem failure.

Case presentation: We present a patient who complained of severe low back pain and acute onset of neurological deficits that progressed to cardiovascular collapse and developed into a complex diagnostic and therapeutic scenario requiring intensive care management and surgical intervention.

Conclusion: The goal of our article is to elucidate the potential causes of catastrophic low back pain and to explore the potential treatments and their timing.
