What is Spondylodiscitis Overview and Management about?
Spondylodiscitis is inflammation of one or more intervertebral discs that occurs in 5-23% of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. It is commonly caused by infection from sepsis or abscesses, with staphylococci and tuberculosis being the main causative organisms. Imaging like MRI, CT scans, and skeletal scintigraphy can detect the inflammation and abscesses. Treatment involves antibiotics, rest, and sometimes surgery to remove infected tissue and stabilize the spine through instrumentation and fusion.
