摘要：
Neurotuberculosis is a potentially fatal disease that can present with upper or lower motor neuron symptoms. Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is characterized by contiguous inflammatory lesions of the spinal cord extending to three or more vertebral segments. The causes of LETM include infections, neoplasm, and autoimmune diseases. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a rare cause of transverse myelitis. Here, we report a 21-year-old Afghan female who was referred with chronic progressive quadriparesis and showed LETM on cervical MRI. This report indicates that tuberculosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis of LETM, especially in endemic areas.
