Resumen
ALVAREZ LOPEZ, Alejandro y GARCIA LORENZO, Yenima. Atypical tuberculosis of the spine. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2007, vol.21, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3100.
The form of presentation of atypical spinal tuberculosis is divided into two big groups: clinical and radiographic presentations. The clinical presentation describes disc prolapse, tuberculous abscess without osseous lesion and tuberculous granuloma. On the other hand, the atypical radiographic presentation includes single vertebral disease with all its variants, and continuos or leaped multiple vertebral disease. The objective of this review article was to describe the different atypical forms of presentation because of the difficulties in diagnosis and the scanty literature dealing with this topic.
