Tuberculous arachnoiditis of the spine, a rare complication of tuberculous meningitis, can be diagnosed with MRI. Early corticosteroid treatment alongside anti-tuberculosis therapy significantly improves outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Tuberculous arachnoiditis is a rare spinal complication of tuberculous meningitis.
  • It can occur even with appropriate treatment for the primary infection.

Observation:

  • Two cases presented with flaccid paraparesia and sphincter dystonia.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed spinal arachnoiditis after 3-11 weeks.

Findings:

  • Adding corticosteroids to anti-tuberculosis therapy led to rapid clinical improvement within 8 days.
  • MRI is effective for diagnosing tuberculous arachnoiditis of the spine.

Implications:

  • Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent severe sequelae.
