We present the case of a 70 years old woman with infectious discitis which was detected using Fluorine fluodeoxiglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT), after a negative magnetic resonance imaging. A ( gender bacteria) grow on culture. In addition 18F-FDG PET also demonstrated infectious endocarditis which was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography and a colonic neoplasm. Here we have highlighted the potential role of 18F-FDG PET/CT study in patients with a clinical history suggestive of infectious discitis with a negative or indifferent magnetic resonance imaging.
我们报告了一例70岁女性感染性椎间盘炎的病例,该病例在磁共振成像呈阴性后,通过氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(18F-FDG PET/CT)检测到。培养物上生长出一种(未明确的细菌种类)。此外,18F-FDG PET还显示出感染性心内膜炎,经食管超声心动图和结肠肿瘤得以证实。在此,我们强调了18F-FDG PET/CT检查在有感染性椎间盘炎临床病史但磁共振成像呈阴性或不明确的患者中的潜在作用。
