Overview
Pott's disease may be complicated by severe vertebral deformity and collapse resulting in kyphosis, cord compression, sinus formation, and paraplegia. However, it responds well to treatment, if it is not complicated by severe deformity or established neurologic deficit.
Complications
- Vertebral collapse resulting in kyphosis
- Spinal cord compression
- Sinus formation
- Paraplegia (so called Pott's paraplegia)
Prognosis
Pott's disease responds well to treatment, if it is not complicated by severe deformity or established neurologic deficit.
