(Ai) Images at initial diagnosis of osteomyelitis-discitis at L1 to L2 with epidural component and compression of neural elements—initial plan for urgent decompression. (Aii) Status after L1 to L2 laminectomy, now with progression of kyphosis. (Aiii) Status after instrumentation and fusion for correction of deformity. (Bi) Images at initial diagnosis of osteomyelitis-discitis at T12 to L1 with minimal epidural component—initial plan to medically manage. (Bii) Status after 8 weeks of antibiotic treatment only, now with progressive kyphotic deformity and neurologic decline. (Biii) Status after instrumentation and fusion for correction of deformity.
