Abstract
Involvement of vertebral column is common in tuberculosis(TB) but intramedullary tuberculomas are rare. Spinal intramedullary tuberculoma are extremely rare, seen in only 2 of 100,000 cases of TB and 2 of 1000 cases of CNS TB. Intramedullary tuberculomas normally respond well to conventional antituberculous medications, requiring surgery only occasionally. MRI is optimal diagnostic modality in intramedullary tuberculoma as it can show specific findings. This report describes a case of Intramedullary Tuberculoma of the Spinal Cord with clinical features and specific MRI findings with review of litreture.
