ABSTRACT
The lack of familiarity with vertebral actinomycosis by both clinicians and radiologists, may contribute to its frequent omission from the differential diagnosis of suspicious lesions, therefore the condition can be difficult to diagnose. We now present the first report of two cases of thoracic and lumbar vertebral actinomycosis resulting in a paraparesis due to epidural abscess which necessifated surgery.
