Isolated Spina Ventosa: An Extremely Rare Presentation of Skeletal Tuberculosis in Adolescent Age
Isolated Spina Ventosa: An Extremely Rare Presentation
Keywords:
Tuberculosis, Dactylitis, SkeletalAbstract
Even though the prevalence of tuberculosis is very high in the developing world, skeletal tuberculosis of extremities rarely occurs. Here we report an uncommon form of bone tuberculosis in a 16 year old female presenting as tubercular dactylitis of proximal phalanx of right middle finger confirmed by Histopathology.[ Agrawal A NJIRM 2014; 5(5):111-113]
