Tuberculous radiculomyelitis as a complication of spondilodiscitis: MR demonstration

We present the MRI features and follow-up results in a case of acute tuberculous (TB) radiculomyelitis adjacent to spondilodiscitis in the thoracic spine. Medullary involvement by tuberculosis originating by different mechanisms have been demonstrated in the recent literature. However, this rare complication accompanying TB spondilodiscitis has not been reported.
