- W2010593654 abstract "Mycobacterium tuberculosis of the cervical spine is a rare but dangerous manifestation of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. The clinical picture ranges from early, nonspecific, insidious symptoms to severe neurological complications and death, attributed to craniocervical junction instability and cervicomedullary compression. The different lines of management include antituberculous medication with traction and external fixation or adjunctive surgery (debridement and stabilization) in patients with severe or persistent neurological complications and/or vertebral instability.We describe two patients with advanced craniocervical junction tuberculosis. The early clinical picture was nonspecific in Case 1 and obscured by psychiatric illness in Case 2. The detailed clinical and radiological findings, and the management, will be described. Involvement of the occipital condyles and foramen magnum, which has not been reported previously, will be demonstrated.Both cases underwent transoral biopsy, aspiration, and debridement of retropharyngeal abscess (granuloma). Histological and tissue culture studies proved the abscesses were tuberculous and anti-tuberculous medications were started. Case 1 showed complete resolution of the clinical and radiological findings. Case 2 developed cardiorespiratory arrest while in a halo jacket. He was resuscitated but remained quadriplegic and semiconscious; he developed nosocomial gram negative pneumonia. He was referred back to his local hospital where he died 1 year later.Tuberculosis is an infrequent but notable cause of cervicomedullary compression. It should be suspected in patients with infective spondylitis who are immunocompromised or reside in an area highly endemic for tuberculosis. Management strategies include antituberculosis medication, transoral biopsy and drainage of the abscess, traction and external fixation, posterior decompression, and internal fixation, according to the clinical and radiological findings." @default.
