Successful treatment of spinal infections relies on integrating neuroimaging with clinical and lab data. MRI is crucial for diagnosing various spinal infections like spondylodicitis and epidural abscesses.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Spinal infectious diseases necessitate comprehensive diagnostic approaches.
  • Clinical and laboratory data are essential but often require imaging support.
  • Neuroimaging provides critical information on lesion topography, acuity, and differential diagnosis.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the indispensable role of neuroimaging in diagnosing spinal infections.
  • To illustrate key imaging patterns of common spinal infections.
  • To emphasize the utility of MRI in detecting subtle infectious alterations.

Summary:

  • This review details the diagnostic value of neuroimaging, particularly MRI, in spinal infections.
  • It covers pyogenic, granulomatous, and postoperative spondylodicitis, spinal epidural abscesses, meningitis, and myelitis.
