Salmonella osteomyelitis is uncommon and generally associated with sickle cell disease. Vertebral location is extremely rare and has mainly been reported in case reports. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for assessing discovertebral and soft tissue abnormalities. Imaging features are similar to other spondylodiscitis. Bacteria isolation is necessary for definitive diagnosis and antibiotic susceptibility testing, allowing adequate medical treatment.
