We present the case of a 26 year old male patient, with a subacute compromise of muscle strength in his lower limbs and urinary retention. The presence of an intramedullary tuberculoma was documented. The patient received corticosteroids and anti-tuberculous therapy, with a total resolution of the symptoms. A short a literature review is also included.
