Abstract

|
A 31 year old woman in childbed was treated with anti-tuberculous therapy after being diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis. However, abrupt onset of voiding difficulty, back pain, and weakness in both lower extremities were developed. Magnetic resonance imaging of thoracic spine showed a soft tissue mass, a compressed posterior spinal cord. A total resection of the intradural extramedullary mass was performed. A histological examination revealed the infiltration of inflammatory cells with granulomatous lesions. Intradural extramedullary tuberculous granuloma is rare, but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord compression.
