Unusual Type

Summary Spondylodiscitis affecting the cervical spine is the most unusual type. Disease progression can be dramatic, even causing quadriplegia and death. We present an unusual case that progressed with osteolytic lesions between C2 and C3, causing cord compression and epidural abscess. The patient was treated surgically by a double approach and improved without neurological deficits and with better inflammatory markers. We reviewed the current literature on the subject.

Abstract Introduction Human brucellosis, the most prevalent zoonotic disease worldwide, is a systemic infection which can involve several organs. Among musculoskeletal complaints, spondylitis is the most frequent complication of brucellosis and primarily affects the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae. The involvement of the cervical spine is infrequent. Case report This case report concerns an unusual case of cervical spine spondylitis with an epidural abscess due to Brucella in a 43-year-old man. The diagnosis was based on the patient being domiciled in an endemic region, his symptoms and his occupation. Clinical outcomes improved following antimicrobial therapy of rifampin, doxycycline, and gentamycin, and were confirmed radiologically. Conclusion Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for these patients. The timely commencement of medical treatment can help prevent surgery.

Pancreatic fistula is an important and possible complication of left nephrectomy performed for inflammatory or malignant lesions of kidney. This may develop due to intimate relationship of tail of pancreas to left kidney. The objective is to report this unusual case of delayed pancreatic cutaneous fistula which patient developed eight years after left nephrectomy. The patient was managed conservatively with subcutaneous injections of octreotide which led to closure of fistula and healing of excoriation.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(3) 2016 p.483-484
