摘要
A case of delayed posttraumatic vertebral collapse (Kummell's disease) is described and documented with serial radiographs, computed tomographic scans, and bone scans. The bone scan was normal before the back injury occurred and showed increased radionuclide uptake 3 weeks after injury and before vertebral collapse. Plain radiographs and computed tomographic scans taken during the interval between injury and collapse revealed no evidence of fracture or bone destruction. The authors believe this represents the first example of Kummell's phenomenon documented with serial computed tomographic and bone scans, and provides further support to the ischemic necrosis theory as the underlying process.
