Intradural extramedullary tuberculoma masquerading en plaque meningioma
Extensive en plaque intradural extramedullary tuberculomas can occur as a paradoxical response to chemotherapy for intracranial tuberculomas. We report a case of 31-year-old male who presented with backache and progressive weakness and urgency of micturition. Magnetic resonance imaging dorsolumbar spine which showed an ill-defined T1 hypointense and T2 heterointense lesion noted posterior to the thoracic spinal cord, extending from C7 to D5 vertebral levels suggestive of en plaque meningioma. The patient underwent D1-D5 laminectomy, with subtotal debulking of the tumor. The histopathological examination of lesion was suggestive of granulomatous inflammation with multinucleated and Langhan type giant cells confirming the diagnosis of tuberculoma.
