Description
In this 20-month-old girl with non-specific spondylodiscitis the typical clinical presentation was absent. A definite diagnosis was made by radiological examination. Several reports have appeared in the literature concerning the importanc of MRI as a new imaging modality in the diseases of the spine, including spondylodiscitis. In the present report we discuss the potential role of MRI in early diagnosis of spondylodiscitis in childhood. (orig.)
