Fig. 1. Case number 17 of Table 2. (A, B) Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging images showed a pyogenic spondylodiscitis at T3–T4 with bony destruction and segmental instability associated with an epidural abscess causing initial spinal cord compression. (C, D) Postoperative computed tomography scan with sagittal and 3D reconstructions showed posterior long fixation (with pedicle screws and rods) and decompression at T3–T4.
