ABSTRACT

Espondilodiscite é um processo inflamatório, geralmente infeccioso, que acomete os discos intervertebrais e as vértebras associadas. O diagnóstico pode ser bastante difícil, devido à raridade da doença, à sintomatologia insidiosa e à alta prevalência de dor lombar na populaçãogeral. Este relato descreve o caso de paciente admitido em serviço de Gastroenterologia com dor abdominal e lombar, acompanhada de emagrecimento progressivo. A propedêutica realizada foi fundamental para o diagnóstico e a exclusão de outras causas. O tratamento conservador foi suficiente para a completa recuperação do paciente.


Spondylodiscitis is an inflammatory process, often of infectious origin, that attacks the intervertebral disks and related vertebra. Diagnosis may be very difficult because it is a rare disease of insidious symptoms and also because of the high incidence of backache in the general. This report describes the case of a patient admitted to the Gastroenterology service with a complaint of abdominal and lumbar pain followed by progressive weight loss. Propaedeutics used had fundamental importance in the diagnosis and elimination of other causes. Conservative treatment was enough to achieve patient recovery.
