It primarily affects the vertebral bodies, leading to their destruction and collapse. This condition often presents with chronic back pain, spinal deformities (such as kyphosis), and neurological deficits due to spinal cord compression. The infection typically spreads from the primary site (usually the lungs) via the bloodstream to the spine, where it initiates granulomatous inflammation, leading to bone necrosis. Diagnosis is confirmed through imaging modalities like MRI, which reveals characteristic findings such as vertebral collapse, abscess formation, and spinal deformities, along with microbiological studies. Treatment involves a combination of anti-tubercular therapy for an extended period and may require surgical intervention to stabilize the spine or decompress neural elements. Early recognition and management are crucial to prevent severe complications, including permanent neurological damage. 🏥💊 #TuberculosisOfSpine #PottsDisease #SpinalTB #BackPain #SpineInfection #Orthopedics #Neurology #FMGEPrep #NEETPG #USMLE #MedicalEducation #HealthAwareness #InfectiousDiseases #SpinalHealth #MedicalStudents #MedSchoolJourney #medicalanimations #fmge #fmgevideos #rapidrevisionfmge #fmge2024 #mbbslectures #nationalexitexam #nationalexittest #neetpg #usmlepreparation #usmlestep1 #fmge #usmle #drgbhanuprakash #medicalstudents #medicalstudent #medicalcollege #neetpg2025 #usmleprep #usmlevideos #usmlestep1videos #medicalstudents #neetpgvideos #usmlestep2videos
