Summary: | Sonographic diagnosis of spondylodiscitis is described in a 21-month-old girl who presented with altered gait.

Our case is the first description in the English language of the sonographic diagnosis of spondylodiscitis. Pediatric radiologists and sonographers should be acquainted with its features, for both incidental and intentional diagnosis. |
