Spinal intramedullary tuberculoma is a rare cause of spinal cord compression. We report a case that had an intramedullary spinal cord tuberculomas where the diagnosis was made by MRI and biopsy. The clinical presentation was that of a cord compression in a 30-year-old male febrile patient. This case of intramedullary spinal tuberculoma with a longitudinally extending lesion of the cervicothoracic spine from C4 to D8 is presented for the rarity of its presentation.
