ABSTRACT

In the world one- third population is infected with TB infection about 1% of the population each year. Tuberculosis of spine is mostly found in India. Imaging methodology is important for diagnosis of tuberculosis of spine. In our study of hundred patients of clinically suspected tuberculous-spondylitis were included into this planned study, during in this study December 2014 to November 2015. Among them, 100 cases of MRI and histology demonstrated and proven were incorporated in this study. The pinnacle frequency was observed to be in third decade (50%) with male predominance, 2.5 times more than female patients. The mean age was uncovered 35 years. Most noteworthy event was in double vertebrae inclusion (50%) alongside persistent vertebral contribution (85%). In this study destruction and collapse occur in most case (75%) with predominance with posterior element included (63%) and spinal deformation also was least (15%). Soft tissue of Para-spinal contribution was occur much of the time ((80%) with no calcification. Cord compression was 30%. MRI was an accurate and sensitive modality for the diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis.
