Thoracic spinal tuberculosis paravertebral abscess penetrates into the thorax

Spinal tuberculosis cold abscess can be locally infiltrated or directly ruptured and penetrated into adjacent organs. The most common is the lung. It is rare to penetrate into the esophagus or colon. It can be encountered when the ulcer penetrates into the chest cavity. It is often confused with tuberculous exudative pleurisy in internal medicine. Although the cause is the same, the source is different and the treatment is different.
