Clin Case Rep. 2024 Feb 28;12(3):e8490. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8490. eCollection 2024 Mar.

Abstract

Patients with an infected charcot spine (ICS) may experience little or no back pain despite severe vertebral destruction. Understanding the pathophysiology underlying ICS and its differential diagnoses is crucial for its accurate diagnosis. Worsening symptoms of chronic charcot spine should raise suspicions of an infection.
