Abstract

Sacral tuberculosis can be manifested by lower back and leg pain, numbness and strength lossin the lower extremities. As it is rarely seen in clinical practice, it can be omitted in thedifferential diagnosis of patients with such complaints. We have detected a mass lesion in thecorpora of 2nd and 3rd sacral vertebrae in a patient referred to our unit for MRI investigationfor progressive lower back and leg pain, numbness and loss of strength in left foot. With MRand CT findings cordoma, plasmositoma and giant cell tumor was thought in the differentialdiagnosis and a biopsy has been suggested. The biopsy revealed necrotizing granulomatousinflammation. After one year antituberculosis pharmacotherapy the radiological findings andclinical symptoms has recovered. Although a rare cause of lumbago or coxalgia, this case waspresented to remind that sacral tuberculosis must be remembered in the differential diagnosisof the symptoms

Özet

Sakral tüberküloz, bel ve bacak ağrısı, ayaklarda uyuşma, güç kaybı, miksiyon ve defekasyongibi yakınmalarla karşımıza çıkabilmektedir. Ancak, son derece nadir görüldüğünden, bu türşikâyetlerle gelen hastaların ayırıcı tanısında genellikle göz ardı edilir. İlerleyici bel ve bacakağrısı, sol ayakta his ve kuvvet kaybı şikâyetleri ile ünitemize lomber manyetik rezonansgörüntüleme (MRG) tetkiki için gönderilen bir hastada, sakral 2. ve 3. vertebra korpuslarınıtutan kitle lezyonu saptanmıştır. Kitlenin ayırıcı tanısında, MR ve bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT)bulguları ile öncelikli olarak kordoma, dev hücreli tümör yada plazmositom olabileceğidüşünülmüş ve biyopsi önerilmiştir. Biyopsi sonucu nekrotizan granülomatöz inflamasyonolarak gelmiştir. Bir yıl süren anti tüberküloz (TB) tedavi ile hastanın radyopatolojik bulgularıve klinik semptomları düzelmiştir. Lumbalji veya koksalji yakınmalarının ayırıcı tanısında,nadir görülen bir sebebi olsa da, sakral tüberkülozun da unutulmaması gerektiğini hatırlatmakamacıyla, bu olgu sunulmuştur
