Abstract
|
|
|
The common disease processes involving the axial skeleton,, producing acute symptoms and signs such as back and radicular pain and impairment of gait, were spinal injury and tuberculosis.
90 cases of spinal injury and 40 cases of spinal tuberculosis, proved at Chonnam. National University Hospital during the periods from Jan. 1978 through Oct. 1982, were studied and analyzed radiologically.
The results were as follows:
1. The majority of the spinal injury was vertebral body fracture(74.7%, ), and the next was fracture of transverse process 11.1%.
2. The most common site of spinal injury was lumbar spine (66.7%).
3. Traumatic spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis were found only in the lumbar spine.
4. The incidence of the radiologic findings in spinal tbc. was vertebral body destruction (97.5%), change of the vertebral body density (97.5%), joint space narrowing (92.5%), vertebral body collapse (72.5%) and paravertebral cold abscess (45.0%).
5. The features of the vertebral body destruction were interarticular (51.3%), central (43.5%) and undetermined type (5.1%).
6. The changes of the vertebral body density were lytic (61.5%), mixed (33.4%y and sclerotic type (5.1%).
7. The most frequent site of involvement of the spinal Tbc. was lumbar (38%), the next was thoracic spine(31).
