pubmed:abstractText
Mycobacterium tuberculosis of the cervical spine is a rare but dangerous manifestation of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. The clinical picture ranges from early, nonspecific, insidious symptoms to severe neurological complications and death, attributed to craniocervical junction instability and cervicomedullary compression. The different lines of management include antituberculous medication with traction and external fixation or adjunctive surgery (debridement and stabilization) in patients with severe or persistent neurological complications and/or vertebral instability.
