A Study of Surgical Treatment of Spinal Tuberculosis

Dr Hashir Safwan U, Dr Sandeep Shibli

Abstract :

Tuberculosis is quiet commonly encountered in our country. Even though common the spinal column is involved in less than 1% of all cases of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis involving the spine is a very dangerous type of skeletal tuberculosis as it can be associated with neurologic deficit due to compression of adjacent neural structures and significant spinal deformity. It’s always secondary tuberculosis and the focus is almost always present in the lungs and had spread via the blood. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of spinal TB has special importance in preventing these serious complications. Although the development of more accurate imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging and advanced surgical techniques have made the early diagnosis and management of spinal TB much easier, these are still very challenging topics. In this we aim to discuss the diagnosis and management of spinal TB based on surgical treatment
