Spondylodiscitis. Spondylodiscitis can be defined as a primary infection of the intervertebral disc, with secondary infections of the vertebrae (spondylitis). It can lead to osteomyelitis of the spinal column. Pyogenic spondylodiscitis is frequently caused by the staphylococcus. Symptoms. Fever. Like many other slowly progressive infections, fever is poorly sensitive for spondylodiscitis. ... Back Pain. ... Spinal cord or Nerve Compression. Causes. Spondylodiscitis is usually a monobacterial infection and more than 50% of cases in Europe are caused by Staphylococcus aureus, followed by gram-negative pathogens such as Escherichia coli (11%–25). The most common pathogen worldwide is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Diagnosis. This is defined as infection accompanied by destruction of the vertebral bodies, starting at the endplates, but with secondary involvement of the intervertebral discs. The term "spondylodiscitis" means primary infection of the intervertebral disc by a pathogen, with secondary infection of neighboring vertebral bodies. Treatment Antibiotic therapy is a pillar of treatment for spondylodiscitis and should be a part of the treatment in all cases. Neurologic deficits, sepsis, an intraspinal empyema, the failure of conservative treatment, and spinal instability are all indications for surgical treatment. Background: Most patients affected by spinal tuberculosis can be successfully treated conservatively with chemotherapy, external bracing and prolonged rest. Surgical treatment. Techniques. The primary aim of surgical technique is debridement with biopsy for culture and histology, but since, in most cases, after decompression, drainage and a sequestrectomy the spine is unstable, a mechanical stabilisation is needed at the same or in a secondary operation. In general, open surgical treatment consists of an anterior approach with full disc removal and careful excision of affected vertebral bodies followed by tricortical bone graft harvested from the iliac crest to fill the cavities. Can spondylodiscitis be cured? The essential elements for successful treatment leading to cure of spondylodiscitis are the fixation of the affected section of the spinal column, antibiotic therapy, and (depending on the severity of the condition) debridement and decompression of the spinal canal.
