A 40-year-old male with tuberculosis spondylodiscitis with bony destruction of T9 and T10, and an extensive perivertebral abscess from T8 to T10 (A-F). T9 and T10 corpectomy and anterior interbody fusion with rib and iliac autograft via right side transthoracic approach (G, H), and 1 week later posterior transpedicular instrumentation on T7-T12 were performed. Postoperative X-ray follow-up demonstrates solid interbody fusion and eradication of infection (I, J).
