FIGURE 7.5. Septic discitis. Magnetic resonance imaging scan of the lumbar spine of a 14-month-old child who stopped cruising. <bold>A:</bold> Sagittal T2-weighted scan showing reduced signal in the L5/S1 intervertebral disc (<italic>arrow</bold>) and high signal in the end plate and adjacent medullary bone. <bold>B:</bold> Axial T1-weighted scan after contrast demonstrated intense contrast enhancement of the disc. <bold>C:</bold> Axial T1-weighted scan showing nerve roots surrounded by fat.

Fig. 1. Lumbar discitis. <bold>A:</bold> Anterior-posterior and lateral radiograph of a 5-year-old boy 4 weeks after presentation for refusal to ambulate. Physical examination of lower extremities did not demonstrate the source of the problem. <bold>B:</bold> The lateral radiograph demonstrates narrowing of the disc space between L-2 and L-3. No other findings are noted.
