Abstract

Calcific diskitis (CD) is a rare condition characterized by inflammation and calcification of an intervertebral disk, typically causing localized back pain. We present the case of a 65-y-old woman with a history of breast cancer and persistent back pain. SPECT/CT identified focal uptake at the T10-T11 vertebrae, localized to the intervertebral disk. Retrospective review of MR images from 2016 demonstrated a hypointense signal within the same disk on both T1- and T2-weighted images, consistent with disk calcification. This case highlights the utility of SPECT/CT in identifying CD and distinguishing it from other pathologies, including metastatic or degenerative spinal disease. CD should be considered in the differential diagnoses of backache.

椎间盘钙化的骨SPECT/CT表现。
钙化性椎间盘炎(CD)是一种罕见的疾病,其特征是椎间盘的炎症和钙化,通常引起局部背部疼痛。我们提出的情况下,65岁的妇女与乳腺癌的历史和持续的背部疼痛。SPECT/CT在T10-T11椎骨发现局灶性摄取,定位于椎间盘。回顾性回顾2016年的MR图像,在T1和t2加权图像上显示同一椎间盘内的低信号,与椎间盘钙化一致。本病例强调SPECT/CT在鉴别乳糜泻和将其与其他病理(包括转移性或退行性脊柱疾病)区分方面的应用。腰痛的鉴别诊断应考虑乳糜泻。
