Late post-diskectomy tuberculous spondylodiskitis at the operated level is an extremely rare phenomenon. We describe a unique case of a same level tuberculous spondylodiskitis with pus drainage from the operative scar 8 years after simple L4/L5 diskectomy and review the relevant literature. The therapeutic management and possible pathogenic mechanisms are discussed as well. |
