Multilevel vertebral body tuberculosis: a case report.
We report a rare case of multifocal vertebral body tuberculosis with an isolated affection of vertebral bodies and uncommon findings in radiographies that were more suggestive of vascular or tumor lesion. This case is reported to illustrate the complexity of diagnostic procedures necessary to reveal multilevel vertebral body tuberculosis and the place of modern imaging, especially computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, to differentiate vertebral tuberculosis from other differential diagnosis.
