Popis: This article aims to familiarize the reader with the MR imaging findings of tubercular radiculomyelitis (TBRM) and to identify the sources of infection. We evaluated 29 patients on a 1.5 T GE MRI in a cross-sectional study. MRI of the spine with contrast and lumbar puncture were performed in all patients. MRI brain was performed for 13 patients. The typical and atypical manifestations enlisted in this article, will enable early detection of TBRM when the clinical history is ambiguous, as TBRM can present with low backache in both retrovirus positive and negative patients.
