A 71-year-old man was admitted to Teikyo University Hospital with paraplegia, subileus, back pain and high fever. He gave a history of having received treatment for spinal caries 20 years previously. Chest computed tomography and esophageal endoscopy demonstrated evidence of spinal caries and traction mid-esophageal diverticulum associated with kyphosis of the spine. The present report describes the extremely rare case of diverticula associated with kyphosis of the spine caused by spinal caries (Pott's spinal caries).
