The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the clinical data, laboratory examination and imaging examination of tuberculous spondylitis (TS) and pyogenic spondylitis (PS), and to provide id...
To propose a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) classification of brucellosis spondylitis (BS) to determine a standard treatment method and a standard of post-treatment MRI follow-up....
This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study. All patients diagnosed with BS at six hospitals for 12 years, were included in the study. Data were collected retrospectively from the medical records...
Six hundred fifteen patients were included in the study, 78.9% of whom were males. The mean age was 53.05 ± 11.06 years. Involvement of single vertebrae occurred in 6.2% of patients, while 72.7% invol...
MRI features of multicenter data can provide theoretical support for diagnosing BS. MRI classification of BS can afford better help for clinical treatment and follow-up after clinical treatment....
This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of the posterior procedure with the combined anterior and posterior procedure in the surgical management of lumbar Brucella spondylitis....
Although Streptococcus constellatus (SC), an opportunistic pathogen, can cause abscesses and empyema. The SC infection after vertebral augmentation (VA) can interfere with patients' daily living activ...
To evaluate the effectiveness of fluoroscopy guided transpedicular abscess infusion and drainage in thoracic-lumbar spondylitis with prevertebral abscess....
We retrospectively reviewed 14 patients with infectious spondylitis with prevertebral abscesses from January 2019 to December 2022. All patients underwent fluoroscopy guided transpedicular abscess inf...
Among the 14 patients with prevertebral abscesses, 64.29% (9/14) involved the lumbar spine and 35.71% (5/14) involved the thoracic spine. The ESR, CRP, and VAS scores decreased from 87.34 ± 9.21, 93.0...
Fluoroscopy guided transpedicular abscess infusion and drainage is a safe and minimally invasive procedure for the management of thoracic-lumbar spondylitis with a prevertebral abscess....
Pyogenic spondylitis is a condition with low incidence that can lead to neurological sequelae and even life-threatening conditions. While conservative methods, including antibiotics and bracing, are c...
This study retrospectively reviewed 47 patients with pyogenic spondylitis including spondylodiscitis, vertebral osteomyelitis, epidural abscess, and/or psoas abscess. All patients received plain radio...
We analyzed 47 patients, 25 of whom were female, with a mean age of 70,7 years. MRI revealed that 26 of 47 patients had epidural abscesses. The surgical group had a significantly higher incidence of e...
The presence of an epidural abscess on MRI should be regarded crucial in the decision-making process for early surgical treatment in patients with pyogenic spondylitis in order to improve clinical out...
Spondylitis caused by...
Case 1 involved a 49-year-old male shepherd who presented with a 6-month history of fever (40°C), severe chest and back pain, and 2-week limited lower limb movement with night-time exacerbation. Physi...
Real-time PCR detection offers valuable diagnostic insights for suspected cases of brucellosis spondylitis. Surgical treatment helps in infection control, decompression of the spinal cord, and restora...
Chronic cervical spondylitis (CCS), a degenerative disorder of the spine, is known for causing disability among old and young people. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in various cytokine genes h...
This study focused on the development and validation of a diagnostic model to differentiate between spinal tuberculosis (STB) and pyogenic spondylitis (PS). We analyzed a total of 387 confirmed cases,...
Rod fracture (RF) occurred at L5-S level in a 79-year-old woman 7 months after spinal corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). Four years after the surgery, pyogenic spondylitis occurred a...
We need to follow-up postoperative ASD patients carefully because a single complication can lead to serious consequences....
