GOMEZ-CAMELLO, Angel e CRUZ HUERTAS, Maria José. A rare case of tuberculous clivus osteomyelitis. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.4, pp.218-222. ISSN 0120-8748.
We report a case of tuberculous infection of exceptional location: clivus with involvement of surrounding tissues and refractory headache without pulmonary clinic. Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the clivus is a rare entity described in areas with highest tuberculosis prevalence. This case debuts with unspecific neurological symptoms and was diagnosed by the results of microbiological study of coexisting pulmonary nodules, without associated pulmonary clinic.
