Cervical spondylodiscitis is thought to carry a significant risk for rapid neurologic deterioration with a poor response to nonsurgical management.
METHODS
A retrospective surgical case series of the acute surgical management of cervical spondylodiscitis is reviewed to characterize the

This case reports the medical history of a dorsal spondylodiscitis in a diabetic patient admitted for a chronic wound of his toes. He had a long-standing history of regular consumption of alcohol and tobacco.
Vertebral osteomyelitis is usually secondary to hematogenous seeding from direct inoculation during spinal surgery or from adjacent soft tissue infection; the most common organism being Staphylococcus aureus. We present a case of a 31-year-old male who was found to have vertebral osteomyelitis
BACKGROUND
The incidence of pyogenic spondylodiscitis is increasing; however, the source of infection often remains obscure. We analyzed predisposing factors, pathogens, and outcome of patients undergoing surgical and/or conservative treatment of spondylodiscitis with a focus on the diagnostic

OBJECTIVE
One often overlooked aspect of spinal epidural abscesses (SEAs) is the timing of surgical management. Limited evidence is available correlating earlier intervention with outcomes. Spinal epidural abscesses, once a rare diagnosis carrying a poor prognosis, are steadily becoming more common,
