Lungs
- Decreased breath sounds
- Rales
- Rhonchi
- Bronchial breath sounds
Spine
- Local tenderness
- Stiffness and spasm of the muscles
- Cold abscess demonstrates absence of signs of inflammation
- Limited range of motion
- Palpable gibbus[4]
- Spine deformity[5]
- Kyphosis[6]
Neurologic
Findings suggestive of spinal cord compression include:
