Abstract
Spondylodiskitis caused by enterococcus is an entity anecdoticaly described in medical literature. We report a case of lumbar spondylodiskitis caused by enterococcus faecalis of urinary origin in a male patient after being operated because of prostate benign hyperplasia. Clinical, radiologic and evolutive features were revised. Through a bibliographical search 9 cases have been found in medical literature, although 2 of them were included in etiologic series of infectious spondylodiskitis with no more information. Together with our case we describe briefly the published characteristics of the 7 patients.
