Despite modern radiological methods and therapy, they are accompanied with frequent development of neurological complications, because of delayed diagnosis, which sometimes can lead up to paraplegia 4,6,8,[19][20][21][22][23] . Atypical forms of spine TB are a tuberculous spondylitis without involvement of IV disc, TB of posterior spinal elements or different parts of the spine and destructive lesions of cervical vertebrae and the sacrum 6-8, 23, 29, 30 .…”

Despite modern imaging methods, atypical presentations of spinal TB can lead to misdiagnosis and the development of neurological complications, sometimes up to paraplegia 4,6,8,[19][20][21][22][23][24] . We presented an extremely rare case of subdural tuberculous abscess of the lumbar spine, and paraparesis.…”
