Spinal tuberculosis

Spinal tuberculosis is caused by circulatory disorders and vertebral body disease caused by tuberculosis infection. The affected spine showed bone destruction and necrosis, caseous changes and abscess formation. The vertebral body collapsed due to lesions and weight-bearing, which caused the curvature of the spine, spinous process bulge, hump deformity on the back, and thoracic spinal tuberculosis.
