We report 2 cases with different radiological presentations of vertebral pyogenic osteomyelitis. The underlying pathogenic mechanisms are discussed. Bone pain and tenderness associated with an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate are the most frequent clinical features that should alert the clinician to this diagnosis. This condition frequently escapes early diagnosis and is often considered late in the differential diagnosis of back pain.
我们报告了2例具有不同影像学表现的椎体化脓性骨髓炎病例。对其潜在的致病机制进行了讨论。与红细胞沉降率升高相关的骨痛和压痛是最常见的临床特征，应提醒临床医生考虑这一诊断。这种情况常常早期漏诊，在背痛的鉴别诊断中也常常很晚才被考虑。
