Zusammenfassung: | Tuberculomas of the central nervous system are common. However, the incidence of intraspinal intramedullary tuberculomas is very low, and a combination of intramedullary, intracranial, and pulmonary tuberculomas is extremely rare.

Conservative treatment with antituberculous medications resulted in complete resolution of his symptoms. |
