Se presentan dos casos de enfermedad de Pott. Los dos pacientes mostraban lesiones líticas en cuerpos vertebrales y en uno de ellos existía compromiso neurológico —paraparesia espástica—, siendo otro dato llamativo la afectación tuberculosa endobronquial. Se llegó al diagnóstico en un caso por cultivo de Lowenstein del machacado ganglionar y en el otro, por encontrarse bacilos ácido-alcohol resistentes en el líquido, obtenido por punción, del absceso frío paraespinal. Se comenta la patogenia y el tratamiento.

Two patients with Pott's disease presenting carious lesions in vertebral bodies are reported. One of them had neurologic compromise —spastic paraparesis— and other striking ñnding was endobronchial tuberculous involvement. In one case, results of Lówenstein culture of mashed lymph nodes yielded the diagnosis and in the other case, diagnosis was provided by the finding of acid-fast bacilli of the fluid obtained through puncture and aspiration of the cold paraspinal abscess. Pathogenesis and treatment are discussed.
