Early Syringomyelia in Tubercular Meningitis.

Tubercular meningitis (TBM) can have various complications. Sometimes syringomyelia can also occur as a late complication of tubercular meningitis. Although syrinx formation in early stage of TBM is very rare. There are only four published case reports of syringomyelia in acute stage of TBM. Here we report a patient with tubercular meningitis who developed syringomyelia in early course of illness.
