Abstract

We present an uncommon vertebrae osteomyelite case of cervical spine. Cervical vertebrae osteomyelite may occur spontaneously, post operative, and post traumatic, but, hematogen spreading of infection is the most common. The delay for the diagnosis and management of cervical vertebra osteomyelites may cause to severe neurological disorders. Immobilization and administration of antibiotics must be managed after the diagnosis, additionally, if the patient has neurological deficits and spinal deformity, surgical procedures must be added to the management of the patient

Özet

Servikal bölgede spontan gelişen vertebra osteomyeliti olgusunu sunmaya amaçladık. Servikal vertebra osteomyeliti en sık hematojen yayılım ile görülürken daha az olarak spontan, cerrahi operasyon sonrası, travmatik olarakda görülebilir. Servikal vertebra osteomyelitin tanısı ve tedavisinin geciktirilmesi durumunda ciddi nörolojik problemler ortaya çıkabilir. Tanı konulduğunda immobilizasyon ve intravenöz antibiyotik tedavisine başlanılmalı veya nörolojik defisit, spinal deformite varsa cerrahi müdahalede bu tedaviye eklenilmelidir
