Tuberculosis of the spine (Pott's disease) in the dorsal-lumbar region initially worsened with conservative treatment. Minimally invasive surgery provided excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes for this spinal tuberculosis case.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery
  • Infectious diseases
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Vertebral tuberculosis, or Pott's disease, is a significant cause of spinal infection.
  • Conservative management including antibiotics and immobilization is the initial approach.

Observation:

  • A patient with dorsal-lumbar Pott's disease showed symptom exacerbation after two months of antibiotic therapy, bed rest, and casting.
  • This indicated a failure of conservative treatment in managing the spinal condition.

Findings:

  • Minimally invasive posterior vertebral stabilization was performed as a subsequent treatment.
  • The surgical intervention resulted in excellent clinical improvement and positive radiographic findings.

Implications:
