[Postoperative lumbar discitis].
Minerva anestesiologica, 1992The authors report our experience on 19 cases of discitis developed after operations for herniated lumbar disc. Because of the negativity of the neuroradiological studies in the acute stage, the recognition of the typical syndrome (severe back pain, spasm of the paravertebral lumbar muscles, limited spinal motility, fever) beginning 3-30 days post ...

Management of postprocedural discitis
The Spine Journal, 2002Fortunately, the incidence of postprocedural discitis is relatively uncommon. The paucity of physical examination findings behooves the spine care practitioner to have a high index of suspicion in any patient presenting with increasing back pain after an invasive spinal procedure.

Discitis is uncommon in children and presents in different ways at different ages. It is most difficult to diagnose in the uncommunicative toddler of one to three years of age. We present 11 consecutive cases. The non-specific clinical features included refusal to walk (63%), back pain (27%), inability to flex the lower back (50%) and a loss of lumbar

Spine, 1988Although well described in the orthopaedic literature and some orthopaedic textbooks, postoperative discitis is regularly missed or diagnosed late. Six cases of discitis were studied in detail with special reference to the clinical presentation.

Cervical discitis, though rare, should be included in the differential diagnosis of torticollis, neck pain and neurodevelopmental regression in motor skills in children and infants. Magnetic resonance imaging is the diagnostic method of choice. Treatment should be conservative with antibiotics only.

Intervertebral discitis in childhood
Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1989Many paediatricians are unaware of the disease entity of discitis, which must be included in the differential diagnosis of several acute and subacute diseases of infancy and childhood. In order to draw attention to this disorder, three Swedish and two Arabic children, aged from 9 months to 3 years, are jointly presented.

The Journal of rheumatology, 1981
The clinical and laboratory findings in 15 patients with septic discitis are reported. The clinical picture was that of a sub-acute illness characterized by back pain, spinous process tenderness, and sciatic nerve root irritation. There was a considerable delay from clinical presentation to diagnosis (average 14 wk).
