Intradural, extramedullary spinal cord compression from tuberculous granuloma

G S Cruickshank et al. Br J Neurosurg. 1996 Feb.

Abstract

A 19-year-old girl presented with acute cord compression following treatment for tuberculous meningitis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a posterior compressive lesion between T1 and T4. At laminectomy, an intradural extramedullary tuberculous granuloma was excised. To our knowledge, this is the first report of spinal cord compression occurring from a subdural tuberculous mass.
