Cureus, Tuberculosis of the Cervical Spine: A Case Report

Tuberculosis of the cervical spine is a rare but deadly form of tuberculosis (TB), where the infection affects the cervical vertebrae or bones of the neck. It is also known as Pott’s disease. The causative organism is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It usually occurs when TB bacteria spread from other body parts, such as the lungs, to the cervical vertebrae through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. It also shows extrapulmonary involvement, including the central nervous, genitourinary, and lymphatic systems, bones, and joints. Tuberculosis of the spine is often seen. Cervical spine tuberculosis is a rare form of the disease though. If the infection is not treated, it might harm the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in paralysis and other neurological complications. This article presents a 40-year-old female with tuberculosis of the cervical spine complaining of neck pain and stiffness with neurological manifestations and its management with anterior spinal instrumentation. The patient showed improvement in the next follow-up.
