This case report details rare intramedullary spinal tuberculomas causing cervical myelopathy. Advanced imaging and treatment led to a positive outcome, offering insights into this unusual condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Intramedullary spinal tuberculomas are rare, particularly in North America.
  • Cervical myelopathy can be caused by various spinal cord lesions.

Observation:

  • A unique case of intramedullary spinal tuberculomas presenting as cervical myelopathy is reported.
  • The gross and microscopic features of the lesion were documented.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provided the first known detailed visualization of intramedullary spinal tuberculomas.
  • A combination of modern neurodiagnostic tools and microsurgical techniques was employed.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord lesions, even in non-endemic regions.
