Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Vertebral brucellosis, a rare manifestation of Brucella infection, necessitates careful consideration due to potential structural spinal damage.
  • Bacterial spondylodiscitis requires prompt recognition for effective management and prevention of sequelae.

Observation:

  • A clinical case is presented detailing the radiological, anatomicopathological, and laboratory findings associated with vertebral brucellosis.
  • The case highlights the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic considerations for this uncommon spinal infection.

Findings:

  • Late diagnosis of vertebral brucellosis can lead to severe structural modifications of the vertebral segment.
  • Radiological and pathological findings are key in identifying bacterial spondylodiscitis.
