Vertebral body tuberculosis has numerous forms of presentations. We present two patients of Pott's disease, in whom vertebral body hyperostosis was the radiological presentation. Both the patients had massive hyperostosis of vertebral bodies leading to the obliteration of the spinal canal and neurological deficits. The first case had associated lupus vulgaris, while the second patient had milliary mottling of lungs and calcified bilateral psoas muscles. Surgical decompression, followed by full-dose chemotherapy, remains the hallmark of management of this disease.
椎体结核有多种表现形式。我们介绍两例表现为椎体骨质增生的波特病患者。这两例患者均有大量的椎体骨质增生，导致椎管闭塞和神经功能缺损。第一例患者同时患有寻常狼疮，第二例患者则有肺部粟粒样斑点和双侧腰大肌钙化。手术减压后，再进行全剂量化疗，仍然是治疗这种疾病的主要方法。
