According to Ayurveda, Katishoola is a disease with pain in lumbar region. In modern it is nearly correlated with Lumbar spondylolisthesis, in which anterior displacement of a vertebra or the vertebral column in a relation to the below vertebral is one of the common causes. Katishoola is a disease which is mainly caused by the vitiation of Vata Dosha. Some ancient texts also describe Katishoola as a symptom of some disorders such as Kati Graha, Trika Graha, Prushta Graha, Grudrasi etc. The present article deals with a case of diagnosed Grade 1 lumbar spondylolisthesis of L4 over L5 and got advised for surgery. The Ayurvedic diagnosis of Katishoola was made.
