- The spinal cord is involved in less than 1% of all cases of tuberculosis (TB). Non-contiguous spinal tuberculosis are found mostly in places with high prevalence like India but very few case reports have been published worldwide. Most of these patients have only two non-contiguous lesions, The disease is usually accompanied by severe neurologic deficits.
