    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Infectious diseases
    • Spinal surgery

    Background:

    • Translumbar aortography is an invasive diagnostic procedure.
    • Lumbar spine osteomyelitis is a serious infection.
    • Controversy exists regarding translumbar vs. transfemoral aortography safety.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed lumbar spine osteomyelitis post-translumbar aortography.
    • Symptoms included fever and progressive neurological dysfunction.

    Findings:

    • Treatment involved surgical drainage and systemic antibiotic therapy.
    • The patient's fever and neurological deficits resolved.

    Implications:

    • Translumbar aortography, though not primary, is a viable alternative approach.
    • Bleeding risks are low, and infection is a rare complication.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in spinal infections.
