A series of 19 patients suffering Pott's paraplegia was reviewed in a ten-year period. Ever since their admission they were submitted to an antiphthisic and orthopedic medical treatment for 3 to four weeks. A medullar decompression by reaching the focus through different surgical technics was performed on 16 of them. 3 did not require such procedure; 14 recovered completely; 2 partial recovery and 3 did not recover at all. The degree of kyphosis together with affected vertebrae and area, plus ossifluent abscess, the lack of sphincter control and pre-treatment evolution were correlated with recovery from paraplegia.
在十年期间对一系列19例患有波特氏截瘫的患者进行了回顾。自入院以来，他们接受了3至4周的抗痨和矫形内科治疗。其中16例通过不同的手术技术到达病灶进行了脊髓减压。3例不需要这种手术；14例完全康复；2例部分康复，3例完全没有康复。脊柱后凸的程度、受累椎体和部位、加骨化性脓肿、括约肌控制缺失以及治疗前的病情发展与截瘫的恢复相关。
