RESUMEN
El mal de Pott, también llamado espondilitis tuberculosa, es la más frecuente de las afecciones esqueléticas de la tuberculosis, representando el 40 de las tuberculosis osteoarticulares. Se produce mediante siembra hematógena a los cuerpos vertebrales en la fase de bacteriemia durante la primoinfección tuberculosa. Tiene manifestaciones clínicas muy insidiosas, por lo cual el diagnóstico suele ser bastante tardío con deformidad cifótica de la columna y secuelas neurológicas importantes, siendo los síntomas principales dolor de espalda y trastornos de la marcha. Presentamos el caso de una niña de diez años con mal de Pott, cuyo diagnóstico se confirmó mediante biopsia por abordaje directo y estudio bacteriológico.
ABSTRACT
Pott’s disease, also called tuberculous spondylitis, is the most frequent of the skeletal conditions of tuberculosis, representing 40 of the osteoarticular tuberculosis. It is produced through hematogenic spread in the vertebral body in the bacteremia stage during the tuberculous primo-infection. It has really insidious clinical manifestations, therefore, the diagnosis is usually delayed with the emergence of cifotic deformity of the column and important neurological consequences, being backache and walk disturbance the principal symptoms. We present the case of a 10-year-old girl with Pott’s disease whose diagnosis was confirmed through biopsy by direct approach and bacteriological study.
