A case of an 11-year-old boy with rapidly progressing quadriparesis with bowel and bladder incontinence is reported. MRI of the spine revealed an intramedullary tuberculoma at the level of C5–7. Investigations further revealed evidence of tuberculosis in the brain and lungs as well. The child made a rapid recovery with medical management alone.
