It remains in Germany a rarity and still a difficult diagnosis. Here we analyzed patients with spinal tuberculosis treated at our neurosurgical department. According to the infected anatomic segment, patients were assigned in one of three groups. Surgery was performed when neurological deficit due to mechanical compression, deformity, instability, severe pain, necrotic bone or failure to respond to anti-tuberculous treatment were observed. We identified 34 patients with spinal tuberculosis who underwent surgical treatment. In the cervical spinal tuberculosis group, there were 15 cases (46.9%) In most cases treatment consisted of spinal instrumentation. In the thoracic group, 10 cases (29.4%) were observed. The treatment was performed by dorsolateral spinal instrumentation. For the thoracolumbar group, 9 cases (26.4%) were observed. In most cases dorsolateral spinal instrumentation was performed. One patient in the first group and one patient in the third group relapsed after operation. A second surgery was necessary. Patients with chronic back pain, immigration background and\/or neurological deficit spinal TB should be considered as a differential diagnosis. Combined surgical intervention and medical treatment is associated with a favorable outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-023-34178-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]],"date-time":"2023-04-28T11:02:04Z","timestamp":1682679724000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Surgical management and clinical outcome of cervical, thoracic and thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis in a middle-European adult population"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Fatma","family":"Kilinc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Setzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bedjan","family":"Behmanesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Jussen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Ge\u00dfler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vincent","family":"Prinz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcus","family":"Czabanka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"34178_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-011-1414-4","volume":"36","author":"MF Ferrer","year":"2012","unstructured":"Ferrer, M.
