case_images: X-rays showed (a) L1 upper end plate and (b) T12 lower end plate destruction with peri-vertebral shadow.

case_images: T12 had vertebral destruction with preserved posterior elements. The L1 upper end plate and T12 lower end plate destruction with a peri-vertebral shadow were indicative of an abscess (Figure 1).
case_images: Plain X-ray demonstrating unremarkable features of the chest.

case_images: Plain radiography of the chest was unremarkable (Figure 2).
case_images: The magnetic resonance imaging of the spine revealed (a) kyphotic deformity and (b) pre-vertebral fluid collection at T12/L1 extending to the epidural space.

case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging of the entire spine revealed features suggestive of tuberculosis infection (Figure 3). Posterior elements were preserved and facet joints were normal (Figure 3).
case_images: The magnetic resonance imaging of entire spine revealed (a = green arrow) an increased kyphosis, and (b = dark blue arrow) a paravertebral abscess. Furthermore, it demonstrated a complete vertebral destruction of lower and upper end plates of T12 (c = orange arrow) and L1 (d = light blue arrow).

case_images: The patient was neurologically intact post-surgery (Figure 5).
case_images: X-rays showing failed implants backing off from the (a) distal part of vertebra (T12/L1) and (b) increased kyphotic deformity of the spine.
