Lumbosacral junction represents an uncommon site for tuberculosis with very few cases reported. We present a case report of 42-year old male diagnosis Spinal at L5-S1 who was treated Posterior decompression and pedicle screw fixation along the cover ATT.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by acid-fast mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli. Spinal involvement occurs in less than one percent of TB. Spinal TB (Pott's disease) accounts for 50% of skeletal TB. Though it most commonly affects the thoracolumbar junction, it can occur at any level of the spine. Early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory in order to avoid neurolo...

A complete surgical plan for patients with spinal tuberculosis may include all or some of these five surgical procedures that involve both removing tuberculous lesions and re-establishing spinal stability and function. All fiv...
