PURPOSE: In developing part of the world, it is common to see complete destruction of vertebral bodies in tuberculosis. Our study aims to assess the effect of spinal tuberculosis with vertebral shortening on pulmonary function.

METHODS: Fifty cases of spinal TB (14 males, 36 females) managed both operatively and non-operatively, who presented to tertiary care institute between years 2011 and 2016 were assessed. Vertebral height loss was assessed by spinal deformity index (SDI). All patients underwent pulmonary function testing using same equipment sitting in upright position.

RESULTS: Mean age was 27.9 years (27.9 ± 11.9). 11 patients with mean SDI of 2.7 ± 1.1 showed normal lung function. 36 patients showed restrictive pattern of which 12 were mild, 14 were moderate and 10 showed severe pattern with a mean SDI of 3.8 ± 1.2, 5.6 ± 1.3 and 6.1 ± 1.4, respectively. 3 cases showed obstructive pattern. As the apex of curve shifted proximally, FVC% reduced. Increase in SDI value was associated with a fall in the vital capacity and FEV1. Increase in the kyphotic angle was associated with a deleterious effect on PFT results.

CONCLUSIONS: Risk stratification of pulmonary dysfunction resulting from vertebral body height loss due to kyphosis will emphasize the need for early detection of spinal tuberculosis before deformity occurs.
