    Abstract:
    This case report describes a patient presenting with symptoms of progressive paresis of both legs. An X-ray of the thorax demonstrated an aspect consistent with miliary tuberculosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the thoracic spine revealed medullary compression. The patient underwent a laminectomy and the diagnosis of spinal epidural tuberculoma was made. The patient has been treated with isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide. After a period of six months, she made a complete recovery.
