Non‐contiguous multilevel spinal tuberculosis: A case report of unusual spinal tuberculosis resembling spinal metastasis

Abstract

Abstract Spinal tuberculosis (TB) is diagnostically challenging, particularly in atypical forms. Non‐contiguous multilevel spinal TB (NMLST) is a rare presentation of spinal TB, mimicking spinal malignancies. We reported an unusual NMLST case with a paraspinal and epidural abscess in a young patient with misleading clinical and imaging presentations.
