Özet
WE PRESENT A case of a 16-year-old boy with an atypical form of spinal tuberculosis, which circumferentially involved two noncontiguous vertebral levels without destruction of the adjacent vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs. The lesions: caused paraplegia and loss of sphincter control, and they were confined to a single vertebra at each site; the findings more closely mimicked spinal malignancies. There was no evidence oi pulmonary or other extrapulmonary tuberculous disease. The patient was successfully treated both surgically and medically using posterior decompression;;nd a stabilizing procedure in combination with postoperative antituberculous therapy. Magnetic resonance Imaging played a major role in determining the extent of the disease and the type of surgical procedure and in monitoring adequate medical treatment.
