Tuberculosis can cause rare spinal subdural abscesses. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for diagnosing this condition, aiding in effective treatment and management.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Spinal subdural abscess is an uncommon condition with limited documented cases.
  • Tuberculosis is a potential, albeit rare, cause of spinal subdural abscess.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male with a history of tuberculous meningitis developed dizziness and leg weakness.
  • Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a spinal subdural abscess at the T3-T4 level, presenting as an iso-intense mass with ring-like enhancement and spinal cord compression.

Findings:

  • The patient had a recurrence of tuberculous meningitis after premature discontinuation of anti-tuberculous therapy.
  • Surgical intervention and abscess drainage were performed.
  • Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights tuberculosis as a cause of spinal subdural abscess.
  • MRI is an invaluable diagnostic tool for spinal subdural abscesses.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for managing this rare condition.
