Pyogenic Cervical Spondylodiskitis: Case Report and Current Literature Review
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Pyogenic spondylodiskitis (PS) or vertebral osteomyelitis is a bacterial infection of the spine that accounts for 2-7% of all hematogenous osteomyelitis. It most commonly affects the intervertebral disc, adjacent vertebral bodies and perivertebral tissues and may extend to the posterior elements of the spine. Cervical spondylodiscitis (SD), although less frequent compared to that which affects other spine segments, has a more aggressive clinical course and more severe complications.
