Abstract
|
|
|
Vertebral osteomyelitis is a relatively uncommon condition which continues to pose diagnostic pitfalls. We describe a case of discontinuous multi-level thoracic vertebral osteomyelitis of unknown etiology in a previously healthy person. Initial
clinical
suspicion was a metastatic tumor to the spine, based on the findings of scintigraphic & MR imagings, till final histopathologic confirmation by open biopsy. In our experience, vertebral osteomyelitis, eventhough presenting with non-specific
symptoms and
atypical radiologic picture. Should be included in the possible tentative diagnosis by early suspicion.
