Abstract:
A case of tuberculosis initially involving the vertebral arch is presented, and this rare mode of presentation is contrasted to more typical radiographic presentation of Pott disease. The role of CT in delineating the extent of disease and in detecting complications such as paravertebral abscesses and cord compression is illustrated specifically and through a literature review.
