title: [Intrathoracic Pott's abscesses, radiologic pitfalls for the pneumologist].
abstract: The authors have conducted a retrospective study of 200 cases of tuberculous spondylitis, and wish to draw attention to the clinical and, chiefly, radiological aspects of the disease. Intrathoracic Pott's abscesses are principally observed in developing countries but they are not exceptional in France, and their varied semeiology deserves to be described.
