Abstract
Intradural extramedullary tuberculoma of the spinal cord is a very rare presentation of non osseous spinal tuberculosis. We reported on, a case of a 22 year-old female who was treated for pulmonary tuberculosis since five months. The patient developed spastic paraplegia, which progressed rapidly, 20 days before admission. MRI of spine revealed an intradural extramedullary lesion at the T3-T4 and T7-T12 levels. After surgery, the histopathology of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
