Abstract: Objective: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of Baastrup disease (BD) among patients presenting with nonspecific low back pain (LBP) at a tertiary hospital in Southern Nigeria. Methods: 158 patients (mean age 57.4 ± 14.1 years) underwent lumbar spine MRI. Clinical records were reviewed to document demographics (age, gender, BMI) and radiological findings indicative of BD. Results: Baastrup disease was identified in 52 participants......

Abstract: Osteoarticular tuberculosis accounts for 2-5% of all tuberculosis cases, with vertebral tuberculosis being the most frequent localization (50%). Peripheral joint involvement comes second, mainly affecting weight-bearing joints (hip and knee); wrist involvement is rare (< 1%).We report a case of a 42-year-old female with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis treated 10 years ago, presented with an isolated right hand swelling for a 4-month duration. His initial imaging and CT scan showed multiple destructive lesions in the carpal bones associated with multiple fluid collections, His histology and microbiological studies were positive for TB with no other concurrent evidence of TB elsewhere.
Key Word: wrist, tuberculosis, carpal bones
