Spinal tuberculosis, though rare, can affect the sacrum and is challenging to diagnose. Prompt and careful treatment is crucial to prevent long-term spinal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Spinal Tuberculosis Diagnosis
  • Sacral Osteomyelitis

Background:

  • Spinal tuberculosis is uncommon in developed nations.
  • Sacral vertebral involvement is exceptionally rare.
  • Early diagnosis can be hindered by non-specific symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old boy presented with lumbar pain and rigidity.
  • Initial spinal X-rays were normal; CT revealed sacral lytic lesions.
  • Ewing sarcoma was suspected, but biopsy identified Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a cold abscess.

Findings:

  • The patient received a 1-year treatment regimen with isoniazid, rifampin, and pyrazinamide.
  • A presacral cold abscess required surgical debridement.
  • The child recovered well but retained some spinal mobility limitations.

Implications:

  • Sacral tuberculosis presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Timely and appropriate antimicrobial therapy is essential.
  • Preventing sequelae like spinal curvature requires vigilant management.
