Abstract

Tuberculosis of the spine is a severe form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and poses a challenge to physicians worldwide. Left untreated, it can lead to severe complications with significant patient morbidity. In this chapter, we discuss the most common complications of spinal tuberculosis and their management, including cold abscesses, kyphotic deformity, and neurologic deficits, in addition to the specific challenges posed by late onset symptoms. Adverse reactions to anti-tuberculosis drug therapy as well as medicolegal challenges in treating spinal tuberculosis are also highlighted.
