Unusual Involvement of Lateral Recess of Vertebrae in Potts Spine
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Spinal tuberculosis is the commonest manifestation of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. It usually presents with backache, paraparesis, and spinal deformity. It accounts for 2% of all tuberculosis cases, 15% of extra-pulmonary, and 50% of skeletal tuberculosis. Common vertebral lesions are paradiscal, central, anterior subligamentous, and neural arch. Most commonly affected vertebrae are thoracic followed by lumbar and cervical vertebrae. Lateral recess involvement is a rare entity. Here, we report a case of thoracolumbar tuberculosis with atypical involvement of bilateral lateral recess of thoracic vertebrae complicated with abscesses.
