Abstract

We described an infectious spondylodiscitis case after appendectomy to indicate theimportance of clinical suspision for the diagnosis. A 24-years-old female referred with low backpain. She had an appendectomy surgery 3 months ago. She had no neurodeficitis and fever. Sedimentationand CRP were slightly elevated. After contrast administration, enhancement in vertebralbodies and disc at the L5-S1 was detected in T1-weighted MRI. We hospitalized the patient ashaving infectious spondylodiscitis and treated with antibiotics. The diagnosis of spondylodiscitis isdifficult and often delayed due to non-specific physical, laboratory and radiographic findings. Ahigh clinical suspicion is necessary for the early diagnosis.

Özet

Tanı için klinik şüphenin önemini belirtmek adına, apendektomi sonrası gelişen bir enfeksiyöz spondilodiskit olgusu tanımlıyoruz. Yirmi dört yaşındaki bir kadın olgu, bel ağrısı ile başvurdu. Üç ay önce apendektomi cerrahisi geçirmiş idi. Nörodefisiti ve ateşi yoktu. Sedimentasyon ve CRP hafifçe yüksekti. Kontrast madde sonrasında T1-ağırlıktı, MRI’da L5-S1’de vertebra korpuslarında ve diskte tutulum saptandı. Enfeksiyöz spondilodiskit olduğu düşünülen olgu hospitalize edildi ve antibiyotik başlandı. Spesifik olmayan fiziksel, laboratuvar ve radyografik bulgular nedeni ile spondilodiskit tanısı zordur ve sıklıkla gecikmektedir. Erken tanı için yüksek klinik şüphe gereklidir.
