ABSTRACT

Tuberculous spondylitis (Pott’s disease) represent 1-5% of tuberculosis cases. We present a clinical case of a female patient of 14 years of age with tuberculous spondylitis (Pott’s disease) complicated with vertebral body fracture T4, T7, T8 and T9, who underwent a posterior approach, bilateral complete laminectomy of T3, T4, T7, T8, T9 preserving the facet joints, more arthrodesis instrumented with sublaminar hooks in T1-T2 placement of sublaminar wires T5 and T6 placement of transpedicular screws in T11, and two titanium bars. With excellent postoperative results. In addition, the different surgical approaches to this pathology are discussed.
