This condition is usually associated with trauma, long-term steroid use, or systemic diseases. Spondylodiscitis is a serious infection affecting the spinal discs and vertebral bodies and is usually of bacterial origin. The association of spondylodiscitis and avascular necrosis is rare. In this case report, bilateral femoral head avascular necrosis and spondylodiscitis coexistence in a 53-year-old female patient diagnosed with ulcerative colitis is discussed. This case aims to emphasize the risk of developing AVN and spondylodiscitis in patients with chronic inflammatory disease who receive longterm corticosteroid treatment.tr10.4274/tod.galenos.2025.24482info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAvascular necrosisspondylodiscitisinflammationcorticosteroidosteoimmunologyspondyloarthropathyArticle312113117WOS:001544307800001N/A
