Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Tuberculous spinal granulomas are rare, particularly intradural extramedullary forms.
  • These lesions typically lack bony involvement, distinguishing them from other spinal pathologies.

Observation:

  • Four cases of intradural extramedullary tuberculous spinal granulomas were identified.
  • Patients presented with symptoms related to spinal cord compression.

Findings:

  • Successful microsurgical resection was achieved in all four cases.
  • Patients experienced good recovery following surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Microsurgical resection is a viable and effective treatment for intradural extramedullary tuberculous spinal granulomas.
