Abstract
Abstract Intradural spinal tuberculoma is a rare entity, constituting <5% of CNS tuberculoma, whereas intradural extramedullary tuberculoma of spinal cord (IETSC) is even less frequently encountered. Here, we report a case of IETSC at two noncontiguous levels in spinal cord presenting with compressive myelopathy in a patient on multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment. Surgical decompression and appropriate ATT regimen resulted in gradual return to near-normal neurological function with no functional disability. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of IETSC developing in an immunocompetent patient on MDR regimen for drug resistant sputum-positive pulmonary tuberculosis.
