Abstract
Fungal vertebral osteomyelitis by mucormycosis is extremely rare. We report a 16-year-old patient with newly diagnosed acute lymphoid leukaemia who developed extensive vertebral osteomyelitis caused by mucormycosis. He was treated with three-level subtotal spondylectomy and long-term oral antifungal medications. He had no neurological deficit after the operation.
