Conclusion

-Vertebral osteonecrosis is an entity that must be included in the differential diagnosis of spondylodiscitis when all the radiological criteria are not met, especially in patients with collapse vertebral.

-It is very important to correlate with antecedents, previous imaging studies, clinical evolution and other diagnostic tests (laboratory, anatomopathological): radiological follow-up may be the key.
