Abstract
Spinal intramedullary tuberculoma remains a very rare entity of central nervous system tuberculosis. This is the same with
the coexistence of spinal intramedullary and intracranial tuberculomas that remains extremely rare with less than 20 cases
reported at present. Authors describe this uncommon case by analyzing a 65-year-old female patient who had past history
of kidney transplantation due to stage 5 chronic kidney disease and pulmonary tuberculosis on medication. The patient
experiences progressive paraplegia and numbness on both lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated
an intramedullary mass at T9-10 level and multiple intracranial enhancing nodules. Microsurgical resection of spinal intramedullary
mass was performed and the lesion was histopathologically confirmed as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Efficient
diagnosis and management of this rare disease are reviewed along with previously reported cases.
