[Traumatic suppurative intervertebral osteochondritis].
The author observed purulent intervertebral osteochondritis in 2 of 107 patients operated upon for osteochondrosis of the vertebral column and in 1 of 98 patients after discography. Special attention is given to difficult diagnosis during the first days due to the absence of the clinical signs pathognomonic of this complication. After a repeated operation with drainage of the focus two patients have recovered within 3-5 months with an outcome in a complete ankylosis.
