Pott’s Spondylodiscitis with Gibbus in a 5 Year Old Child – A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
A 5-year-old boy was referred to us with a 3-month history of swelling and pain on his back. On laboratory evaluation, he only had an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. X-ray showed an extensive lytic lesion of the dorso lumbar spine. Chest roentgenogram was normal. The Mantuex skin test was negative. Histological examination of the biopsy tissue showed granuloma and caseating necrosis of tuberculosis. antituberculous chemotheraphy resulted in a good clinical outcome. A high index of suspicion therefore, is the key to timely diagnosis and treatment.
