Περίληψη:
Vertebral osteomyelitis is one of the most common manifestations of
tuberculosis. Magnetic resonance imaging is considered the main imaging
modality for the diagnosis, the demonstration of the extent of the
disease, and follow-up studies. Vertebral destruction involving two
consecutive levels with sparing of the intervertebral disc, disc
herniation into the vertebral body, epidural involvement, and paraspinal
abscess are the most common MRI findings suggestive of tuberculous
vertebral osteomyelitis.
