Spinal tuberculosis, also widely recognized as Pott’s disease or tuberculous spondylitis, is an uncommon infectious disease that causes the vertebrae to collapse, resulting in a deformity or kyphosis, i.e., a hunchback. Bone tuberculosis begins in the vertebrae and gradually spreads to neighboring areas. Tuberculosis is most commonly caused by infectious bacteria – Mycobacterium tuberculosis that infect the lungs. If left untreated, it has the potential to spread to the spine and end up causing spinal arthritis. When the infection spreads to two adjacent joints, the spinal disc receives fewer nutrients and degrades. As a result, when a disc collapses, the vertebrae narrow and collapse, causing spinal cord damage. If left untreated, this condition can result in nerve damage, paralysis, and back deformities.
