title: [Multiple, paravertebral Pott's abscesses].
abstract: The authors describe a case of vertebral tuberculosis with multiple localizations, high thoracical (T2-T6) and of the sacrum (S1-S4) at a young woman with nonspecific clinical symptoms and with CT examination suggestive of the diagnosis, where the diagnostical certainty was obtained by the bacteriological examination for bK of the pus (purulent liquid) extracted by CT guided fine needle biopsy performed in the posterior mediastinal tumor.
