Spontaneous emphysematous osteomyelitis of spine detected by computed tomography: Report of two cases.

Senthil Kumar Aiyappan¹, Upasana Ranga¹, Saveetha Veeraiyan¹.

Abstract

We hereby report two cases of spontaneous emphysematous osteomyelitis of spine caused by gas forming organisms in diabetic patients, which were diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging with one case managed successfully. These cases highlight the role of CT in diagnosis of gas forming spinal infections, especially in diabetic patients. Early and aggressive management is required in those cases to avoid mortality.
