Infectious process involves infrequently the posterior compartment of the vertebra. Three cases of such condition are experienced at the Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University during the period of August 1962 to June 1971.
Two of three cases were from pyogenic infection involving the spinous process of third and fourth lumbar vertebra respectively, one of which was complicated by formation of paraspinal abscess and both were treated with total laminectomy of the involved vertebrae.
