The classical Roentgenographic features of truberculosis of the spine such as narrowing of the intervertebral disc, collapse of the vertebral bodies, with or without the shadow of a cold abscess, present a specific picture of the actual pathological process. However, the diagnosis of tuberculosis is not confirmed unless proven by biopsy, or the finding of the tubercle bacillus. 120 cases of proven spinal tuberculosis,, at Kwangju Christian Hospital during the period form Janunary 1973 through August 1980, were studied and analysed. The resulted were as follows : 1. The ratio of male to female was 1 :1.1 . The age preference was under 30 years old. 2. The most frequent site of involvement was the lumbar spine (44.1%) and next the thoracic (39.2%).3. The incidence of lytic type was 50.8% mixed type 36.7% and sclerotic type 12.5%. 4. Associated pulmonary tuberculous lesions were observed in 94 patients (78.3%) . 5. The central type, with wedging or collapse of the vertebral body was more common in the younger age group and the intervertebral articular type in older patients. 6. The incidences of typical radiologic findings were : Collapse of vertebral body(90%), cold abscess (78.3%) and narrowing of intervertebral space(70%). 7. Associate kyphosis was observed in 37 cases (30.8%), Among these 37 cases the range of angulation was between 21 to 40 degrees in 40 %.
