Abstract

In this case we present a patient with ankylosing spondylitis for 35 years who had spondylodiscitis after right total hip replacement operation. After right total hip replacement operation, patient had a progressive paraparesis of lower extremity, advanced to paraplegia, so we performed a thoracic magnetic resonance imaging which had spondylodiscitis with spinal cord compression at thoracic 11-12 vertebra levels. The patient is hospitalised for rehabilitation after T11 total laminectomy+- costotransversectomy. We couldn’t find any etiologic factor after our examination. Patient was discharged with better muscle strength with double crutches. We presented this case to remind spondylodiscitis after surgery and spondylodiscitis as a complication of ankylosing spondylitis.

Ankilozan Spondilit Tanılı Hastada Postoperatif Gelişen Spondilodiskit

Abstract

Bu olguda ankilozan spondilit tanısı olan, koksartroz nedeniyle sağ total kalça protezi cerrahisi geçirdikten sonra spondilodiskit gelişen hasta sunulmuştur. Cerrahi sonrası bacaklarda kuvvetsizlik, hareketle artan şiddetli bel ağrısı oluşan hastada parapleji gelişmesi sonucu çekilen manyetik rezonans görüntülemede torakal 11-12 vertebralar seviyesinde korda bası yapan spondilodiskit tespit edilmiş olup, hastaya T11 total laminektomi+kostatransversektomi uygulanıp, rehabilitasyon amaçlı servisimize yatırılmıştır. Etiyolojik bir neden bulunamamıştır. Tedavi sonrası alt ekstremite kas kuvvetleri dü- zelen hasta çift kanedyenle mobilize bir şekilde taburcu edilmiştir. Bu olguyu, cerrahi sonrası şiddetli bel ağrısı ve kas gücü kaybında tanı olarak spondilodiskiti de düşünmemiz ve ankilozan spondilitli hastalarda spondilodiskit komplikasyonunu hatırlatmak için hazırladık.
