Abstract
- Les abcès froids tuberculeux représentent une forme rare et inhabituelle de tuberculose extra pulmonaire. Nous rapportons un cas d’abcès froid dorsolombaire révélant un mal de Pott sans complications neurologiques chez un patient de 27 ans, présentant depuis 05 mois une tuméfaction dorsolombaire gauche. L’examen du prélèvement à l’issu d’une incision et drainage de l’abcès a permis de confirmer l’origine tuberculeuse. Un traitement antituberculeux de 12 mois permettait une guérison avec une séquelle à type de gibbosité modérée.Mots clés: Abcès froid, mal de Pott, osteoarticulaire, spondylodiscite, tuberculoseEnglish Title: Dorsolumbar cold abscess revealing Pott’s diseaseEnglish AbstractTuberculous cold abscesses are a rare and unusual form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. We here report the case of a 27-year old patient with a 5-month history of left dorsolumbar swelling presenting with dorsolumbar cold abscess revealing Pott’s disease without neurological complications. Examination of pus sample collected at the time the abscess was incised and drained helped to confirm the diagnosis of cold abscesses of TB origin. The patient underwent 12 months of anti-tuberculosis treatment which lead to a faster recovery; the sequelae was slight gibbosity.Keywords: Cold abscess, Pott’s disease, osteoarticular, spondylodiscitis, tuberculosis
