Spondylodiscitis by enterococcus is a very infrequent disease with only 2 cases caused exclusively by this microorganism having been reported in the literature.
Two clinical cases of spondylodiscitis by enterococcus diagnosed in the authors' department are presented with the clinical, radiologic and evolutive features of both.
In the first case the spondylodiscitis was secondary to endocarditis with lumbosacral involvement and formation of an anterior epidural inflammatory mass. The second case was the consequence of an infection of urinary origin with lumbosacral involvement. Both patients responded favorably with only antibiotic treatment.
Spondylodiscitis by enterococci is an unusual disease with no therapeutic experience. The authors report 2 cases which were treated exclusively with antibiotics.
