Spinal tuberculosis is the most common manifestation of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. It is difficult to diagnose the disease due to its insidious onset and non-specific clinical presentation. A high degree of suspicion and appropriate imaging studies are necessary for its early diagnosis and treatment. The authors report a case of lumbosacral tuberculosis in an adult patient presenting with hip pain and abscesses.
脊柱结核是肺外结核最常见的表现形式。由于其起病隐匿且临床表现不具特异性,该病难以诊断。高度的怀疑及恰当的影像学检查对其早期诊断和治疗很有必要。作者报告了一例成年患者腰骶部结核,该患者表现为髋部疼痛及脓肿。
