title: [Aspects and value of MRI in the diagnosis and follow-up of common microbes infectious spondylodiscitis. Apropos of 25 clinically and biologically suspected patients].
abstract: This work is about 25 patients clinically and biologically suspected of spondylodiscitis (27 levels). All of them had a MRI exam before disco-vertebral needle biopsy and treatment. The results are compared to those of literature. Each infectious spondylitis case (19 cases) had a new MRI exam each three months. This study conclude to the great sensibility of MRI (89%) in the diagnosis of infectious spondylitis and to the limited interest of it in the follow-up of spondylodiscitis.
