Pott's disease of the cervical spine is relatively rare despite the fact that tuberculous spondylitis is still the most common manifestation of bone and joint infection. We describe a case, the first to our knowledge, of sub-occipital Pott's disease associated with a retropharyngeal abscess in an acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patient. Neurological signs were the main clinical findings. The patient was successfully treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs combined with external stabilization of the spine.
