[Lumbar spondylodiscitis after insertion of a Mobin-Uddin caval "umbrella" filter (author's transl)].
Two cases of staphylococcal spondylodiscitis after insertion of a Mobin-Uddin caval "umbrella" filter are reported. This complication, not previously described, occurred as result of staphylococcal septicaemia with secondary inoculation of the intervertebral disc. The patients were cured after the umbrella filters were removed.
