There is a localized kypothic deformity within the lower dorsal spine with segmental collapes of the D7-D10 vertable levels there are no residual marrow abnormalities within the affected vertebrae on the present study with mild sclerosis on the accompanying CT scan . The intervening discs appear eroded with posterior offset of D9 over D10. The posterior cortex of the collapsed D7 indents the ventral cord surface with subtle cord signal abnormality. The findings would suggest chronic sequeles of an old infection probably tuberculous.
