  ABSTRACT: Intradural extramedullary tuberculoma of the spinal cord (IETSC) is an extremely rare modality of non-osseous spinal tuberculosis. It is even rarer in a child with only less than 8 known cases described in the literature. This spinal involvement constitutes only 2% of Central Nervous System (CNS) tuberculosis cases. Here, we described an exceptional case of a 7-year-old immunocompetent child admitted in our department for spastic paraplegia related to an intradural extramedullary tuberculoma after MRI and histopathological examination. He had been successfully operated and improved well after 12 months of antibacterial treatment.
