Abstract:
A case report of intramedullary spinal tuberculomas presenting as cervical myelopathy is described. The rarity of these lesions in North America make this case unique. The use of modern neurodiagnostic and microsurgical techniques as well as the use of postoperative antituberculous drugs resulted in a good outcome. The first known description of magnetic resonance imaging of intramedullary spinal tuberculomas is presented. The gross and microscopic appearances of the lesion are given.
