The classical roentgenographic features of truberculosis of the spine (narrowing of the intervertebral space, collpase of the vertebral bodies, with or without the shadow of a cold abscess) presents a specific picture of the actual pathological process.

2. The most frequent site of inovlvement of spinal tuberculosis was thoracic spine (36%). The next was lumber (32%).
3. The incidence of lytic type was 60%, mixed type was 28%, and sclerotic type was 13%, respectively.
4. The typical radiologic finding were: narrowings of intervertebral space (100%), collapse of vertebral body (65%), and cold abscess (59%).
