Abstract

Twenty one patients who underwent needle biopsies for spinal disease were analyzed. The final diagnoses in these patients were 11 cases of pyogenic osteospondylitis, 3 tuberculous osteospondylitis, 3 metastatic spinal tumors and 4 compression fractures.Ten of the 11 cases with pyogenic osteospondylitis, 2 of 3 tuberculous osteospondylitis, 1 of 3 metastatic spinal tumor and all compression fractures were correctly diagnosed by needle biopsy. Needle biopsy is easy, less invasive and has a high diagnostic ratio, so is useful in the diagnosis of spinal diseases.
