2 Lateral radiograph of the lumbar spine, showing multiple traction spurs along the anterior edges of the vertebrae and decreased disc height at L3-L4 without overt evidence of osseous destruction.

5 Sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance image showing interspace narrowing of the L3 and L4 vertebral bodies with end-plate destruction, collapse of the vertebral body, and an epidural abscess (asterisk) at L2-L4 with spinal canal compression.
