Tuberculosis (TB) is a threat to global health. It is still prevalent in developing countries. TB of the Central nervous system (CNS) is the most serious and deadly form. The appearance of intramedullary tuberculoma is a rare form of CNS tuberculosis.

We report a typical case of intramedullary thoracic tuberculoma in a young Moroccan man, secondary to a pulmonary miliary tuberculosis.

The aim of this work is to familiarize radiologists and surgeons with this rare anomaly that must be mentioned among the differential diagnoses of intramedullary lesions, especially in countries endemic to tuberculosis.
