Pyogenic spondylodiscitis can have nonspecific clinical and imaging presentations. In this report, we describe a case of pyogenic spondylodisicits of cervical spine mimicking teardrop fracture on radiography. Subsequent CT-guided biopsy helped identify the correct diagnosis and the responsible pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus.

Symptomless hydatid disease may be discovered incidentally by routine radiological examination. Symptoms, if they occur, are usually caused by pressure on adjacent structures. but occasionally a dramatic onset is associated with the infection or spontaneous rupture of a cyst, particularly in the liver or lung. in the relatively rare instances when the disease affects bone, pressure symptoms and...
full textFracture dislocation of the cervical spine.
Twenty surgically treated cases of fracture dislocation of the cervical spine are presented. All patients had hyperfelxion injuries with associated rupture of the intervertebral disc. All patients were operated on through an anterior surgical approach. Ten consecutive patientas had interbody fusion with autogenous bone and ten consecutive patients were fused anteriorly with bovine (Kiel) bone. ...

For centuries spinal injuries, and in particular those involving the cervical region, have been feared more than any others by the layman because they are so often associated with paralysis and death. A clinical description was recorded in the Edwin Smith papyrus (Power 1934) by a medical author who wrote in 2500 B.C. : “ One having a crushed vertebra of his neck he is unconscious of his two ar...
