Excerpt

Although tuberculosis of the spine is an uncommon condition in most developed countries, the disease remains common in many underdeveloped regions. Patients with this condition, particularly in the early stages, generally are treated with antituberculosis drugs, spinal orthotics for improved stability, and improved nutrition [1, 4, 6]. However, some patients develop neurological deficits, epidural or paravertebral abscesses, spinal instability, or considerable deformity of the spine. Generally, these patients are treated with surgical débridement and stabilization [1, 6]. …
