Main radiographic findings in Spine TB (modified after Garg et al [5])

Type of involvement		Radiological appearances
		Vertebra	Intervertebral disk/space
Typical	Paradiskal	Adjacent margins of two consecutive vertebrae involved.	The intervening disk space reduced
	Central	Central portion of a single vertebra involved	Proximal and distal disk spaces intact
	Anterior marginal	Destructive lesion in one of the anterior margins of the body of a vertebra	Minimally involving the disk space but sparing the vertebrae on either side
Atypicsl	Skipped lesions	Circumferentially involvement of two noncontiguous vertebral levels without destruction of the adjacent vertebral bodies	No destruction of intervertebral disks
	Posterior	Posterior arch involved without involvement of vertebral body
	Synovial	Synovial membrane of atlanto-axial and atlanto-occipital joints
