[Spondylosclerosis hemispherica. Roentgenmorphologic and histomorphologic contribution to this syndrome].
We have observed 87 cases of spondylosclerosis hemispherica. This lesion has a multiple aetiology, including bacterial causes (florid or low grade infections), stress due to scoliosis, ankylosing spondylitis, dorsal disc prolapse or diffuse disc degeneration. In the majority of cases it is possible to ascertain the aetiology from a consideration of the clinical and serological findings, together with ordinary radiography, conventional tomography or computed tomography. Appropriate treatment can then be given.
