TB KIDNEY, SPINE, EPIDURAL ABSCESS, ADRENAL and PSOAS ABSCESS
58-year-old male with known history of tuberculosis.
Examination of the lumbar spine on the CT scan shows findings consistent with TB osteomyelitis with destruction of T12 and L1 vertebral bodies with prevertebral and epidural collections extending into the spinal canal.
The MRI confirms the presence of an osteomyelitis discitis associated with an epidural abscess with multiple collections in the left psoas muscle
