Spinal Tuberculosis (Pott’s Spine) is one of the most severe forms of skeletal tuberculosis, affecting the vertebral column and sometimes leading to nerve compression or spinal deformity. This condition requires timely diagnosis and specialized care to prevent long-term disability.

Understanding Spinal Tuberculosis (Pott’s Disease)

Spinal tuberculosis occurs when Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the same bacteria that cause lung TB, spreads to the spine through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. The infection usually begins in the vertebral bodies of the thoracic or lumbar spine and gradually destroys the bone, leading to collapse, abscess formation, and sometimes spinal cord compression.

If not managed on time, it can cause permanent structural deformity and neurological impairment, making early detection and treatment crucial.
