Vertebral tuberculosis
Vertebral tuberculosis refers to lesions limited to the pedicles, lamina, spinous processes or transverse processes, rather than lesions secondary to vertebral tuberculosis extending to the pedicles, transverse processes or upper and lower articular processes. This disease is relatively rare, accounting for 0.8% to 1% of spinal tuberculosis. In another group of 10,531 cases of spinal tuberculosis, there were 45 cases, accounting for 2.3%. Among the 3,139 cases of spinal tuberculosis in the Beijing Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Institute, only 17 cases, accounting for 0.4%. The reason for the low incidence rate is that some scholars believe that the vertebral arch arterioles have abundant anastomoses, are not prone to embolism, are not weight-bearing, have little local cancellous bone, and are rich in surrounding muscles.
