DELGADO-ARGOTE, Hamilton; LEIVA, Luz Miriam e ROJAS, Christian. MRI findings on extrapulmonary tuberculosis in a pediatric patient. Biomed. [online]. 2021, vol.41, suppl.2, pp.8-12. Epub 15-Out-2021. ISSN 0120-4157. https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.5857.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common in children and its extrapulmonary manifestations are present in 30% to 40% of cases.
We present the case of an indigenous girl with disseminated tuberculosis: pulmonary, brain, medullary, and musculoskeletal with substantial neurodevelopmental sequelae. This case exemplifies the spectrum of pediatric extrapulmonary tuberculosis in endemic developing countries. Furthermore, it shows the severity of highly disabling neurological complications and stresses the importance of radiological imaging in guiding diagnostic suspicion of extrapulmonary involvement.
