Abstract

Cervical Pott's disease is a rare localization of spinal tuberculosis. The diagnosis of this affection is most often late which exposes to serious neurological complications. The diagnosis is often delayed by bundles of clinical and biological arguments and aided by the CT scan of the cervical spine. We report a new case of C3-C4 cervical tuberculosis in an immunocompetent woman. The diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of Koch's bacillus (BK) in the gastric fluid after tubing. The treatment is based on the twelve-month anti-tuberculosis drug and a spinal stabilization by cervical osteosynthesis.
