A Case of Tuberculosis Spondylodiscitis With Paraspinal Abscess in a 2-Year-Old Child

In this article, we report a case of tuberculosis spondylodiscitis in a 2-year-old child. Imaging of her spine showed a paraspinal abscess. The diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis remains difficult, and we discuss its salient features and current management within the pediatric population.
