Pulmonary Tuberculosis with Longitudinally Extensive Transverse Myelitis

Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is described in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. Simultaneous active pulmonary tuberculosis in these disorders is a relatively rare phenomenon. We report a 16 year-old boy diagnosed as LETM with clinicoradiological correlation. Further eval...

description Longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is described in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. Simultaneous active pulmonary tuberculosis in these disorders is a relatively rare phenomenon. We report a 16 year-old boy diagnosed as LETM with clinicoradiological correlation. Further evaluation revealed active pulmonary tuberculosis. He had good recovery following the combination of antituberculosis regimen with corticosteroids.
