RESUMO
Tuberculosis of the central nervous system (CNS) is well known. CNS involvement can occur in the form of tubercular meningitis (TBM), tuberculous vasculitis, tuberculoma and rarely brain abscess. Tubercular granulomas generally solitary and occur in the brain but they may be multiple and involve other areas such as spinal cord, epidural space and subdural space also. Tuberculoma in the spinal cord is rare. Co-occurrence of intracerebral and intramedullary spinal tuberculoma is extremely rare in children with only few cases reported till date. We are reporting one such case in children and review of literature.
