Malignant Prostatic Tumor Revealing By Ivory Vertebra in a Context of Chronic Low Back Pain
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Low back pain is a painful condition of the lumbar spine. When it is acute, it is a lumbago (or “crick in the back” in everyday language). Lumbar pain may be the clinical expression of an infectious, inflammatory, tumoral and visceral disease or traumatic anatomical injury. It affects between 40 and 70% of people at one time or another. We report the case of a 60-year-old Malian who was referred for chronic relapsed low back pain with conventional treatment. In examination, we found pain localized in the lumbar region (mechanical or inflammatory) associated with mobility limitation, Schober: 10 + 1.5 cm; a notion of dysuria, an alteration of the state of general stage III of WHO, low back pain mixed with a visual analogue scale (VAS) evaluated at 9/10. Low back pain is a common symptom of consultation in rheumatology. The wide etiological diversity urges a diagnostic approach. The finding of Ivory vertebra is a rare; it is, usually due to metastatic and radiological findings. Its treatment is symptomatic, etiological and especially multidisciplinary.
