Posterior spinal tuberculosis, a rare condition in the US, affects the vertebral arch and can mimic bone cancer. This case report highlights its presentation in a US-born patient, addressing a gap in American medical literature.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Posterior spinal tuberculosis (PST) is a rare form of skeletal tuberculosis.
  • It primarily affects the vertebral arch.
  • PST is uncommon in the United States, leading to limited literature.

Observation:

  • PST can present with clinical and radiographic features similar to skeletal neoplasms.
  • This condition is more frequently reported in developing countries.

Findings:

  • This report details a case of PST in a patient born in the United States.
  • It addresses the scarcity of information regarding PST in the US medical literature.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of PST is crucial for early diagnosis in the US.

  • This case contributes to understanding the varied geographic distribution of spinal tuberculosis.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the epidemiology and management of PST in the US.
