Abstract
Spondylodiscitis is an infection of the spine that involves the intervertebral disc and the vertebral body characterized by insidious onset and nonspecififc symptoms. The clinical examination, neurological status at the time of presentation and strong suspicion are major factors in the treatment decision making and patient outcome. Early diagnosis has a crucial role in the management of the disease and inclines the morbidity rates. We present a case of 53-yearold female who presented with back pain and diagnosed to have spondylodiscitis. The diagnostic work-up included blood investigations, MRI, CT guided biopsy and culture.
Keywords: Spondylodiscitis, back pain, management, diagnosis.
