Diskography.

Abstract

Diskography has become a vital study in the evaluation of spinal pain, particularly in patients who are considered candidates for possible surgical intervention. It has been the author's experience that when diskography is performed with appropriate clinical indication by skilled and experienced practitioners who are thoroughly familiar with spinal pathology, the results lead to improved clinical outcomes. Diskography is a study ideally suited for procedural radiologists.

A man with backache and renal failure.

Backache, a common symptom, is rarely caused by infection of the lumbar discs. The authors present the case of a 60-year-old man with a Staphylococcus aureus septicemia and associated lumbar discitis in whom a pauci immune crescentic glomerulonephritis and renal failure developed. Treatment with antibiotics and not immunosuppressive agents resulted in improved renal function with a discharge creatinine level of 1.87 mg/dL (165 micromol/L). This case highlights an association of pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis with discitis that responded to antibiotic therapy alone.
