Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of 566 patients with senile spinal tuberculosis, and to explore the efficacy and clinical value of paravertebral puncture injection in the treatment of senile spinal tuberculosis. Methods: The clinical data of 566 elderly patients with spinal tuberculosis were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent Mycobacterium tuberculosis smear and culture, T-SPOT test (T-Spot.TB), CT and MRI. Combined with oral anti-tuberculosis drugs for 1.5-2 years. Results: 498 patients (88%) were treated with oral antituberculosis drugs and paravertebral puncture, the clinical symptoms were improved significantly, no pain, tuberculosis poisoning symptoms disappeared, activity limitation disappeared or relieved, and clinical cure was achieved. Sixty-eight patients (12%) with severe limb paraplegia, obvious neurological impairment, spinal instability and other patients who met the indications for surgery underwent debridement and fixation after 2-4 weeks of paravertebral injection. Conclusion: Regular paravertebral puncture and local drug injection is beneficial to improve the cure rate of senile spinal tuberculosis. Compared with surgery, it is more simple, safe and effective. It is suitable for clinical application and can be regarded as a good strategy for conservative treatment in internal medicine.
