Intramedullary cervical spinal cord tuberculoma: A rare cause of paraparesis

Neurological manifestations of tuberculosis remain rare, even if recent years have been marked by an increase in these pathologies, notably due to the HIV pandemic. Intramedullary tuberculoma remains an exceptional localization. Magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing intramedullary tuberculoma and specific medical treatment are of great interest. We report a case of cervical intramedullary tuberculoma in a 45-year-old woman, with a slow spinal cord compression syndrome. The nature diagnosis had been retained on a clinical and radiological basis, and appropriate medical treatment was established, without resorting to surgery.
