Abstract

The article presents a case study of an old woman diagnosed with back pain and fever. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the patient shows inflammatory changes in her adjacent epidural space and paraspinal soft tissues. It notes that she did not have obvious cortical destruction that usually has bacterial osteomyelitis.
