Abstract

Tuberculous spondylitis is defi ned as infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis of components of the spine namely, the vertebra, intervertebral discs, paraspinal soft tissues, and the epidural space. Although the prevalence is higher in developing countries, it is common all over the World. Musculoscelatal involvement is seen most frequently in the vertebral system. TB spondylitis constitute 5-15% of all cases of TB. It is a serious clinical problem due to their high morbidity caused by the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment to avoid permanent neurological defi cits and spinal deformities is important. Here we present a case of tubeculous spondylitis mimicing metastatic disease.

Özet

Tüberküloz(TB) spondilit, vertebra, intervertebral disk, paraspinal yumuşak doku veya epidural mesafe bileşenlerinden oluşan omurganın mikobakteriyel tüberküloz tarafından meydana gelen enfeksiyonu olarak tanımlanır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki prevalansı daha yüksek olmakla birlikte, bütün dünyada yaygın olarak görülür. Kas-iskelet sisteminde en sık vertebral tutulum görülür. TB spondiliti tüm TB olgularının % 5-15'ini oluştururlar. Hastalık neden olduğu yüksek morbidite nedeniyle ciddi bir klinik problem oluşturmaktadır. Kalıcı nörolojik defi sit ve spinal deformiteden kaçınmak için erken tanı ve tedavi önemlidir. Biz burada bir metastatik hastalığı benzeyen tüberküloz spondiliti vakasını sunmayı amaçladık.
