Potts Spine / Bone & Spine Tuberculosis
Pott’s spine, also known as spinal tuberculosis, is a form of tuberculosis that affects the vertebrae and intervertebral discs of the spine. It is caused by the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the spinal bones, leading to pain, stiffness, deformity, and in severe cases, neurological deficits due to spinal cord compression.
