Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Intradural extramedullary tuberculoma of the spinal cord (IETSC) is an extremely rare form of spinal tuberculosis (TB) that is believed to be due to a host's immune reaction against the Mycobacterium protein derivatives.
CASE DESCRIPTION: A 25-year-old male with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, and disseminated TB on antitubercular therapy for the past 8 months, presented with paraplegia of 2 months duration. When the MRI spine revealed multiple peripheral rim enhancing intradural extramedullary lesions from T6 to T8 and dorsally from T10 to T11, the patient was diagnosed with IETSC. At surgery, we countered cystic lesions adherent to the dura and the spinal cord, containing a whitish material. Postoperatively, the patient showed clinical improvement in motor power and sensation.
CONCLUSION: Intradural extramedullary spinal tuberculomas in patients with a history of TB and spinal cord compression, although rare, should be considered among the differential diagnoses.
