Résumé

Transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of the prostate (TRUS)
is a well-tolerated and standardized procedure for the diagnosis
of prostate cancer. Complications associated with TRUS requiring
emergency room visits or hospital admissions are relatively low and
include complications, such as a 1% risk of urinary retention and
less than 1% chance of bacterial sepsis. Vertebral osteomyelitis is
a rare complication of TRUS; there are 3 reported cases. Vertebral
osteomyelitis has an insidious onset and usually resolves following
medical intervention. We present an extremely rare case of
vertebral osteomyelitis following TRUS, its clinical outcome and
management.
