Craniocervical junction tuberculosis in children.
1999
: A case of tuberculosis of the craniocervical junction in an eight-year-old is reported. Presenting symptoms were painful torticollis, dysphagia, and tetraparesis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings strongly suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed by peroral aspiration of a retropharyngeal collection. Management was by immobilization and antituberculous agents. Surgery was not performed. After one year, the outcome was highly satisfactory.
