Abstract
A 45-year old man, who had tuberculosis five years ago presented with paresthesia, decreased proprioception, and gait disturbance in the lower extremity which were aggravated for a month. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the T3-7 intradural extramedullary fibrotic mass with dark signal intensity on T2-weighted images. The yellowish material in the thick fibrous mass was confirmed as caseous necrosis. Two days after the operation, the symptoms improved. Although quite rare, intradural extramedullary tuberculoma should be considered as a chronic sequel of the previous medical history of pulmonary tuberculosis or tuberculous meningitis.
