[Brown Sequard syndrome revealing a cervical pott's disease associated with a retropharyngeal abscess].

A 37-year-old patient was admitted for a left progressive left-hand hemiparesis associated with left C4-C5 neuralgia preceded by inflammatory neck pain for 04 months and dysphagia for 02 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging showed C3-C5 spondylodiscitis lesions with epidural abscess and predominantly left lateralized compression of the spinal cord and retropharyngeal abscess. The patient was operated for incision and drainage of the retropharyngeal abscess through the oral cavity and Koch bacillus was demonstrated from the aspirate by molecular technique GeneXpert. The patient was treated anti-tuberculosis drug therapy and we noted a fully neurological and extraneurological recovery.
