Аннотация

89 magnetic resonance tomograms, which were performed by 72 patients with TS, were analyzed. A spe-cific process was localized in the cervical spine in two patients, in the thoracic and thoracolumbar - in 38, in the lumbar and lumbosacral in 32 patients. Isolated lesions of one or two vertebrae were observed in four cas-es, contact destruction in 48, a combination of contact and isolated destruction at 15. Combination of MRI and X-ray methods broadens the notion of morphological changes in the spine, the stage of the tuberculous process, allows one to study the patterns of development And the dynamics of TC, the effectiveness of conservative and operative treatment
