    Summary

    A rare case of tuberculous epidural granuloma causing L5 root compression was successfully treated with surgery and anti-tuberculous therapy, leading to full recovery. This highlights a rare cause of radicular syndrome.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Spinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Tuberculous epidural granuloma is an uncommon manifestation of tuberculosis.
    • It can present as a spinal mass, potentially causing neurological deficits.

    Observation:

    • A 37-year-old male presented with symptoms suggestive of L5 root compression.
    • Imaging revealed a tuberculous epidural granuloma at the L5 level.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of the granuloma was performed.
    • The patient received anti-tuberculous therapy post-operatively.
    • Complete resolution of symptoms and recovery was achieved.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of spinal epidural masses.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can lead to favorable outcomes.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of these rare lesions is warranted.
