Spina Ventosa is a rare condition that is easy to misdiagnose as other diseases. We present a case of late-diagnosed Spina Ventosa, which had not only the osteoarticular tuberculosis symptoms but also some severe symptoms, including pleural effusion, ascites, and anemia. By intensive treatment, our patient recovered completely.
