Abstract :
Spinal tuberculosis is not common in the paediatric age group. Initial clinical features are often vague and non specific until the disease progresses to later stages. We highlight the diagnostic difficulties and management challenges of a complicated extradural tuberculoma with neurological deficits in a very young girl.
